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 ...
