Valdivia Figurines and the appeal of 'the oldest'
(1º§) The logo for the Ecuadorian Ministry of Culture website is about my favourite thing of the afternoon which is saying a lot since I spent much of the day reading about giant Olmec heads. Three Valdivia Figurines in the colours of the Ecuadorian flag? I am sold! Golly, I love Valdivia figurines for all the right and all the wrong reasons.
(2º§) There are two things that can easily be said about Valdivia figurines: they are VERY Ecuadorian and they are VERY looted. The first explains why they appear prominently on the Ministry of Culture website (and on stencilled graffiti around Quito circa 2007). Ancient Ecuador has played second fiddle to Ancient Peru since the early days of archaeology. The Valdivia culture, however, represents something that Peru doesn't have, 'the oldest'. Everyone loves 'the oldest', national pride, etc. etc.
(3º§) Who else loves 'the oldest'? Collectors and Museums. If the Valdivia pottery sequence is the oldest in the new world, collectors want a slice of that pie. Heck, even better than some junky pottery, the Valdivia made interesting figurines: lovely ladies that look good on stark black backgrounds in auction catalogues. They are part of 'the oldest' yet they also look good.
(4º§) Valdivia sites are famously looted and Valdivia figurines are famously faked. A few years back I started doing some initial work into looting in Ecuador (which led to fieldwork in Quito and the cloud forest that didn't really go anywhere as of yet) and I, like anyone else going down that road, came across Bruhns and Hammond's 1983 Journal of Field Archaeology piece 'A Visit to Valdivia'. Knowing nothing at all about Ecuador at the time, I had never heard of Valdivia, a wonder since the only Ecuadorian archaeology books that Cambridge owns are a few by the late Betty Meggars and Emilio Estrada from the 1950s and 1960s which link uber-ancient Ecuador to Jomon Period Japan (yeah...I know). As Bruhns and Hammond relate, Meggars detected faking at Valdivia immediately after the start of her excavations: practical jokers who discovered a market for their copies. As the market for the pieces grew, the presumed fakes get more and more elaborate and fanciful...and Valdivia sites were just looted to pieces.
(5º§) So really with Valdivia we are left with a situation where we don't know what is real. It is directly comparable to the Cycladic Figurine problem: the corpus is mostly looted, it contains tons of forms not found in the limited archaeological excavations that have been conducted, and we intellectual consumers of artefacts don't know what to believe. To me Valdivia figurines are the perfect looting Catch 22: they warrant study so that the interested public can learn about 'the oldest', but they can't be studied because collectors wanted 'the oldest' so sites were looted and buckets of fakes were produced.
(6º§) In 2007 I bought a fake Valdivia figurine in Otavalo which now stands in a Spondylus shell on my counter and watches me cook. The fella selling it to me told me it was real. I knew it wasn't but made to put it back saying something along the lines that law breaking makes me sick. He quickly agreed that it wasn't real and cut his asking price by a ton. Que Sera.

As crateras lunares são resultado da colisão entre a Lua e objetos celestiais, como asteroides e cometas. O impacto é rápido, envolvendo alta velocidade, pressão e temperatura. O fenômeno, além de alterar o relevo da superfície do satélite natural da Terra, também é responsável por mudanças na composição mineral do solo lunar, chamado de regolito. Por isso, uma das formas de estudar o passado da Lua consiste em analisar os minerais que compõem a sua superfície. Recentemente, a missão chinesa Chang'e-5 retornou para a Terra com 1,73 kg de regolito, fornecendo novos materiais para a investigação da história do nosso satélite natural.
Os pesquisadores identificaram um novo mineral lunar, o Changesite-(Y), bem como minerais do grupo dos silicatos em uma combinação considerada “desconcertante”. As amostras foram coletadas em uma região denominada Oceanus Procellarum. Tais descobertas foram descritas em artigo publicado na revista Matter and Radiation at Extremes na última terça-feira (6).
De acordo com as estimativas dos cientistas, a colisão de objetos celestiais que resultou nas amostras teve uma pressão máxima entre 11 e 40 GPa e uma duração de 0,1 a 1 segundo. A cratera gerada na Lua pode ter entre 3 e 32 km de largura.
O novo mineral Changesite-(Y) pertence ao grupo dos fosfatos e é caracterizado por colunas de cristais transparentes, sem cor. A combinação dos silicatos, por sua vez, inclui a seifertita e a estishovita — ambas quimicamente similares ao quartzo, mas com estruturas cristalinas distintas.
O fragmento que contém seifertita e estishovita surpreendeu os pesquisadores, uma vez que esses minerais, teoricamente, só coexistiriam em pressões muito mais elevadas do que as da amostra. “Embora a superfície da Lua esteja coberta por dezenas de milhares de crateras de impacto, minerais de alta pressão são incomuns em amostras lunares”, afirma a pesquisadora e autora do estudo Wei Du em nota. “Uma das possíveis explicações para isso é que a maioria dos minerais de alta pressão são instáveis em altas temperaturas.”
No caso da amostra coletada pela missão Chang'e-5, levantou-se a hipótese de que a presença de um terceiro polimorfo dos silicatos, a o-cristobalita, pode ter sido importante para viabilizar a combinação de seifertita e estishovita.
“A seifertita pode ter se formado a partir da acristobalita durante o processo de compressão, e uma parte da amostra se transformou em estishovita durante o subsequente processo de elevação de temperatura”, propõe Du.

Espirradeira: linda e tóxica
A espirradeira (Nerium oleander) é uma planta da família Apocynaceae, originária da região da bacia do Mediterrâneo, incluindo Norte da África, até o sul da Ásia. Foi introduzida em regiões do oriente, Austrália, Madagascar e nas Américas, sendo muito cultivada em países tropicais e subtropicais pelo valor ornamental e por não serem plantas muito exigentes quanto às condições de solo e umidade.
Popularmente a espirradeira é também conhecida como loendro, loandro, aloendro, loandro-da-índia, alandro, loureiro-rosa, adelfa, oleandro, cevadilha ou flor-de-são-josé.
Seu porte pode ser arbustivo ou de pequena arvoreta, atingindo entre 2 e 5 metros de altura. Suas folhas são estreitas e alongadas e as flores são reunidas em panículas terminais muito vistosas, nas cores branca, rosa ou vermelha.
Apesar de ser muito comum na arborização urbana, sendo facilmente encontrada em calçadas e praças, todas as partes da planta são tóxicas para humanos e animais, sendo necessário o cuidado com as aparas resultantes de podas para que não fiquem ao alcance de crianças pequenas e animais.
Para manusear a planta, é recomendado o uso de luvas para proteção, pois a seiva esbranquiçada em contato com a pele também oferece riscos. Entre seus princípios ativos estão a oleandrina e a neriantina, que são substâncias extraordinariamente tóxicas. A oleandrina é seu glicosídeo cardioativo majoritário. Essas substâncias são muito estudadas por diversas áreas de Farmácia, Química e Medicina pelo potencial terapêutico, para a criação de novos medicamentos, por exemplo.
Existem diversos relatos registrados de intoxicação de adultos, crianças, animais de estimação como cães e gatos, bovinos, equinos, caprinos, ovinos, sendo alguns casos letais. Se ingerida em altas doses, a oleandrina pode provocar parada cardíaca.
As propriedades tóxicas da espirradeira são conhecidas desde a Antiguidade e são perpetuadas nas medicinas populares em diversas partes do mundo.
Uma das histórias sobre as campanhas militares de Alexandre o Grande (356 a.C - 323 a.C), relata que vários de seus homens morreram após comerem carne envenenada por galhos da planta que foram utilizados como espeto.
Representações da planta estão presentes nas paredes romanas de Pompeia, datadas do primeiro século da era comum.

Frutas da estação
As frutas da estação costumam ser mais baratas, saborosas e nutritivas. Por quê? Porque respeitam o ciclo natural de amadurecimento, e a maior oferta na época natural da colheita reduz o preço final.
Sabemos que a importação e a tecnologia agrícola permitem que frutas sejam oferecidas em épocas diferentes das tradicionais. É por isso que algumas espécies estão disponíveis no mercado quase o ano inteiro! Mas pode reparar: a variação de preço ao longo dos meses é nítida!
Alguns produtores utilizam técnicas e adubos orgânicos que permitem ampliar o período de produção sem alterar a qualidade final do alimento. Porém, o mais comum é que a produção seja ampliada com o uso de fertilizantes químicos.
O problema é que esse processo artificial aumenta o teor de água dos alimentos, reduz o valor nutritivo e parte do sabor. Além disso, no longo prazo, provoca o empobrecimento do solo.
Quando respeitada a sazonalidade da produção, o agricultor pode alternar a produção conforme o clima, o que oferece uma variedade de nutrientes ao solo. Com isso, as frutas da estação podem ser produzidas na própria região, com clima apropriado.
Não é difícil identificar as frutas da estação: normalmente são aquelas que estão em grandes quantidades nas feiras e hortifrútis, com preços mais em conta que o usual.
