Sorry to repeat here, but I am quite suspect too, especially with the journal it is in. I’d expect it to be in something either big or more hyperspecific, like Geoarchaeology. I debated about posting because I think you reported the other, but I am gonna keep it up this time (and I wish I could pin your comment! a cheeky edit title will have to do). I do not have time to dive deeper into the paper tonight, but I want to do that later when my brain isn’t mush, so I think this will also be another reminder for me! ;) It is also good to show people examples of bad science and why which is what this wiki entry does. I want to look at what is actually going on with this thing.
Is Aberdeen still fucked for housing like it was a decade ago? I had a miserable time trying to rent when I lived there because the offshore folk went at the market like vultures.
