The Majiaya culture is in the upper reaches f the Yellw River and its tributaries. 12 Swedish archaelgist Jhan Gunnar Andersn first investigated these cultural ruins in 1924. 13

Passage 4
Turning ff just half the lights in a big building at night can result in up t 11 times fewer bird cllisins, a new study finds.
16 . But light pllutin frm buildings attracts and cnfuses many birds, causing them t fly tward the light. Each year, as many as 1 billin birds are killed in the United States frm cllisins with buildings and glass windws.
17 . On nights when fewer lights were n at McCrmick Place because f cnstructin wrk r hlidays, there were fewer dead birds n the grund the next mrning. He began cllecting data n light patterns, as well as gathering the birds he fund n the sidewalk. He quickly saw there was a link between the number f lights and the number f cllisins.
In the new study, researchers added mre sphisticatin t that earlier wrk.
“Our study cmbined recrds cllected by David Willard and ther Field Museum scientists with infrmatin n weather cnditins and the number f migrating birds flying ver Chicag each night,” Benjamin Van Dren, a pstdctral assciate at the Crnell Lab f Ornithlgy and the paper’s first authr, tells Treehugger.
