EVAPORITES OF THE WADI NATRUN: SEASONAL AND ANNUAL VARIATION AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR ANCIENT EXPLOITATION*
Archaeometry - Tập 46 Số 4 - Trang 497-516 - 2004
Andrew Shortland
The evaporitic deposits of the Wadi Natrun on the edge of the Western Desert of Egypt have been used in variety of crafts and industries for over 6000 years. This paper reviews the formation processes of the evaporitic deposits between the different lakes in the wadi and for the wadi as a whole. It shows that the precipitation of sodium carbonate minerals within the lakes is ...... hiện toàn bộ
MAKING COLOURLESS GLASS IN THE ROMAN PERIOD*
Archaeometry - Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 763-780 - 2005
Caroline Jackson
This paper discusses the compositional analysis of Roman colourless glass from three sites in Britain. The findings suggest that two broad compositional groups can be identified on the basis of the choice of the initial raw materials selected for glass production, in particular the sand. The largest of these groups is inherently different from the naturally coloured, blue–gre...... hiện toàn bộ
THE PROVENANCE OF OBSIDIAN ARTEFACTS FROM THE WĀDĪ ATH‐THAYYILAH 3 NEOLITHIC SITE (EASTERN YEMEN PLATEAU) BY LA–ICP–MS
Archaeometry - Tập 54 Số 4 - Trang 603-622 - 2012
Donatella Barca, Giulio Lucarini, Francesco Fedele
The geological sources of obsidian in the Red Sea region provide the raw material used for the production of obsidian artefacts found in prehistoric sites on both sides of the Red Sea, as far afield as Egypt, the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamia. This paper presents the chemical characterization of five obsidian geological samples and 20 prehistoric artefacts from a systematically excavated Ne...... hiện toàn bộ
THE AMBER OF EL DORADO: CLASS IB ARCHAEOLOGICAL AMBERS ASSOCIATED WITH LAGUNA GUATAVITA*
Archaeometry - Tập 48 Số 4 - Trang 633-640 - 2006
Ken B. Anderson, Warwick Bray
Laguna Guatavita, a crater‐like lake located in central Colombia, was used by pre‐Columbian Muisca people for a variety of socio‐religious ceremonies, many of which involved casting offerings into the lake. Of these, the installation of a new ‘king’ became the basis of the El Dorado myth that was carried back to Europe by 16th century conquistadores...... hiện toàn bộ
THE ORIGIN AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF RED OCHRES FROM THE TITO BUSTILLO AND MONTE CASTILLO CAVES (NORTHERN SPAIN)*
Archaeometry - Tập 51 Số 2 - Trang 231-251 - 2009
Eneko Iriarte, A. Foyo, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Sánchez, C. Tomillo, J. Setién
Ochres were the most common source materials for pigments used in Palaeolithic rock art paintings. This work analyses the petrographic and geochemical signatures of different ochre samples from outcrops inside Tito Bustillo Cave and the Monte Castillo Caves using the most common techniques (petrography, XRD, SEM–EDS and ICP–MS) in archaeological pigment characterization studi...... hiện toàn bộ
In situ preservation of archaeological bone: a histological study within a multidisciplinary approach
Archaeometry - Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 343-352 - 2002
M.M.E. Jans, H. Kars, Christina M. Nielsen-Marsh, Colin Smith, Anders G. Nord, Paul Arthur, Nina Earl
To make preservation in situ a serious option for the management of archaeological sites, research has to be done on the factors affecting conservation of different archaeological materials, including bone. A European project has been started which deals with bone degradation in a multidisciplinary way. The goals of the project are to develop techniques to describe the preservation of arch...... hiện toàn bộ
OPTICAL DATING OF SINGLE AND MULTIPLE GRAINS OF QUARTZ FROM JINMIUM ROCK SHELTER, NORTHERN AUSTRALIA: PART I, EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND STATISTICAL MODELS*
Archaeometry - Tập 41 Số 2 - Trang 339-364 - 1999
R. F. Galbraith, Richard G. Roberts, G. M. Laslett, Hiroyuki Yoshida, Jon Olley
Jinmium rock shelter is famous for the claims made by Fullagar et al. (1996) for the early human colonization and ancient rock art of northern Australia. These claims were based on thermo‐luminescence ages obtained for the artefact‐bearing quartz sediments that form the floor deposit at the site. In this paper, we outline the background to the optical dating programme at Jinmium, and descr...... hiện toàn bộ
A Geomorphological Study of the Giza Necropolis, with Implications for the Development of the Site
Archaeometry - Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 149-165 - 2001
Colin Reader
There are a number of features of weathering and erosion within the enclosure surrounding the Great Sphinx of Giza that suggest the action of flowing water. That this erosion is not uniformly distributed is consistent not with erosion by rainfall per se but by rainfall run‐off—an erosive agent that is known to have been experienced at Giza until the late Fifth Dynasty. When the spatial rel...... hiện toàn bộ
TESTING ASSUMPTIONS OF NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS: COMMUNITIES, WORKSHOPS AND PASTE PREPARATION IN YUCATAN, MEXICO*
Archaeometry - Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 301-316 - 2000
Dean E. Arnold, Héctor Neff, Michael D. Glascock
Contemporary pottery and raw materials (N= 170) from three workshops in Ticul, Yucatán, were analysed by neutron activation to test the hypothesis that individual workshops that used their own clay sources could be identified by their pottery. Although the data failed to confirm the hypothesis, the results reinforced previous conclusions about the relationship of local commun...... hiện toàn bộ
