  Cultural Selection: Cross-Cultural Elements Evident in a Steppe Headdress and Earrings | Silk Roads

One particular object of note, which was uncovered from a site in the north-eastern edge of the Ordos plateau on the Yellow river in what is present day China, is a highly elaborate gold headdress accompanied with a pair of earrings excavated from within the grave of an elite woman. (...) Furthermore, the headdress, with its jewelled headband and dangling golden elements, complex necklace, and accompanying earrings, is very similar in structure to a burial crown uncovered at a site in Tillya Tepe in Central Asia on the border between present-day Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. (...) Chinese, Sogdian, and Byzantine Influences on Caftans Uncovered from Archaeological Sites along the Silk Roads A caftan is a variant, or style, of robe which may be made of wool, cashmere, cotton, or silk and often bound with a sash.

  Opportunities for extending social security coverage in Jordan

Non-compliance and poor enforcement of regulations are among the contributing factors for lack of registration. These include uncovered workers in services, construction and manufacturing – sectors for which social security coverage is required by law. (...) The sector is not well covered by the labour law, and as a result, has the highest number of uncovered workers at 97 per cent. “The pandemic has been a clear awakening call in the region regarding the need to put in place comprehensive and inclusive social protection systems for all workers and their families. (...) It outlines eleven policy approaches that can orient further necessary action to extend social security to uncovered workers. These include approaches to address legislative gaps; compliance and enforcement; and that introduce new methods for expanded coverage.
