Enclosures served numerous practical purposes including acting to delineate settlement areas, to create defensive positions or to be used as animal pens. They were also widely adopted in ritual and burial practices however and seem to demonstrate a fundamental human desire to make physical boundaries around spaces. Enclosures created from ditches and banks or walling can often be identified in the field through aerial photography or archaeological survey ground survey .

  1. Banjo enclosure

    In archaeology , Banjo enclosure is the name given to a type of enclosure archaeology archaeological feature of the United Kingdom British middle Iron Age . They are so named because in plan they consist of a small round area with a long entrance track leading inwards from one direction. This gives them the appearance in plan of frying pans or banjo s. The enclosure is defined by a low bank and ditch. The earthworks at the end of the track are sometimes turned outwards, creating a funnel effect. They used to be thought of as small farming settlements occupied between around 400 and 100 BC, however because of the lack of finds relating to settlements they are currently thought to be probably seasonal ritual centres where feasting occurred.

  1. Cat enclosure

    Image Enclosure.jpg thumb right A home built cat enclosure A domestic cat enclosure or cat cage is either a permanent or a temporary structure intended to confine a cat or multiple cats to a designated space. Some cat enclosures have a secondary function of keeping other animals out, such as predators of cats coyote s, wolves , etc. or cat prey bird s, mouse mice , etc. . Enclosures may be constructed in either an indoor or an outdoor environment. When a cat enclosure is constructed outdoors, it is used to prevent cats from wandering off where they may become lost, endangered by cars, or eaten by predators. Domestic cat breeders may use indoor cat enclosures to separate animals or encourage selective breeding . One specific situation where a cat enclosure is particularly useful is when a cat is moved from one house to another. Cats have an instinctive drive to return home, which is normally beneficial, but can endanger the cat immediately after a move if the distance between homes is significant. Placing a cat in an outdoor enclosure when it reaches its new home will prevent the cat from performing this instinctive behavior. Most domestic cat enclosures are constructed of a metal or wood frame with a steel wire mesh. Considering that cats are excellent jumpers and climbers, most enclosures also feature some type of roof structure to prevent cats from escaping. An enclosure may or may not have an integral floor. For those enclosures that do not have an integral floor, the existing surface where the enclosure is constructed serves as the floor. Cat enclosures may be home built or may be acquired from commercial suppliers. Those enclosures that are home built are typically custom made. Enclosures purchased from commercial suppliers may be custom made, they may feature a modular design that allows for some customization, or they may only be offered in standard shapes and sizes ...

  1. Adiabatic enclosure

    In thermodynamics , an adiabatic enclosure does not allow heat to enter or leave its interior, but opinions differ as to whether this should be regarded as a definition or as a logical consequence derived by deduction from axioms. The adiabatic enclosure is important because, according to one widely cited author, Herbert Callen , An essential prerequisite for the measurability of energy is the existence of walls that do not permit the transfer of energy in the form of heat. ref Callen, H.B. 1960 1985 , p. 16. ref In thermodynamics, it is customary to assume a priori the physical existence of adiabatic enclosures, though it is not customary to state this assumption separately as an axiom or numbered law. Along with the idea of an adiabatic enclosure is the idea that it has adiabatic walls, a term that is often also used. Construction of the concept of an adiabatic enclosure Definitions of transfer of heat In theoretical thermodynamics, respected authors vary in their approaches to the definition of quantity of heat transferred. There are two main streams of thinking. One is from a primarily empirical viewpoint which will here be referred to as the empirical stream , to define heat transfer as occurring by specified macroscopic mechanisms. The other which will here be referred to as the theoretical stream is from a primarily theoretical viewpoint, to define it as a residual quantity after transfers as macroscopic work have been determined for a process, so as to conform with the principle of conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics. Empirical stream of thinking In the empirical stream of thinking, specified mechanisms of heat transfer are heat conduction conduction and thermal radiation radiation . These mechanisms presuppose recognition of temperature empirical temperature is enough for this purpose, though absolute temperature can also serve. In this stream ... work.
