Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

Crossing Ceramic Decoration Boundaries: Compositional and Morphological Analyses of the Mortuary Assemblage From Maridíaz (Nariño, Colombia)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the interaction of two ware traditions in the Maridíaz mortuary assemblage (Pasto, Nariño, Colombia), a rare, well‐documented cemetery context in which Piartal, Tuza, and hybrid vessels co‐occur. Using portable X‐ray fluorescence (n = 39) and 3D geometric morphometrics (n = 25), we find shared ceramic compositions ...

An Experimental Approach on Pearl Shell (Pinctada margaritifera) for a Microwear Study of Shell Artefacts From French Polynesia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pinctada margaritifera (black‐lipped pearl oyster) artefacts are ubiquitous in the archaeological record throughout the Pacific and particularly in Polynesia. Despite efforts towards the development of typologies, the lack of microwear and use‐wear studies has prevented the development of technological approaches. We used 20 pearl shell valves

Direct Evidence of the Geographic Origins of Horse in the Yaoheyuan Site From Ningxia, China

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, It is explores the geographic origin of horses by analyzing the strontium isotope ratio of horses from the Yaoheyuan site, an important site in the northwest region of China during the Western Zhou Dynasty. The results show that most of the horses at the Yaoheyuan site were domesticated locally, while a small number came from ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...
