Dating an ancient spring tunnel using archaeological artefacts functioning as nuclei of cave pearls
Abstract Cave pearls are spherical concentric speleothems growing radially around nuclei in shallow pools saturated with calcite. They are very rare in the Southern Levant. We present a unique assemblage of 50 cave pearls found in the Iron Age Joweizeh artificial spring tunnel in the Jerusalem Hills of Israel. Some of these deposits represent the first

A new conservative and robust Bayesian approach for the event date model in chronology building
Abstract Dating techniques in archaeology have undergone considerable development in recent decades. Today, the major challenge for archaeologists remains the reliability and precision of the date attributed to an artefact or an archaeological event. To this end, it is essential for archaeologists to cross‐reference information from different sources ...

Archaeomagnetic study of two medieval ovens discovered in the Pliska Palace, North-eastern Bulgaria
Two dome ovens from the archaeological complex of Pliska Palace, North-Eastern Bulgaria, were sampled and studied using archaeomagnetic method. These two ovens are well dated archaeologically, and their archaeomagnetic results will elucidate better the ...

A Model Framework for Scaling Pre‐Quaternary Cosmogenic Nuclide Production Rates
Abstract Cosmogenic nuclide dating is an essential component of studying Earth surface processes, but it requires knowledge of how nuclide production rates vary in time and space. Typically, production rates are calibrated at sites with independently well‐constrained exposure histories and then scaled to other sites of interest using scaling frameworks

The remains from the forum of Bavay (Nord) demonstrate the use of terracotta, bricks and tiles. Here, we attempt to characterize those remains, determine their origin and quantity, as well as their role in the economy and the construction of the site.The

Abstract Geomagnetic field models covering past millennia rely on two main data sources: archaeomagnetic data, that provide snapshots of the geomagnetic field at specific locations, and sediment records, that deliver time series of the geomagnetic field from individual cores.

Интердисциплинарно изследване на средновековна пещ от Велики Преслав
In 2015, a small (forger’s?) furnace was excavated at the western part of the sector near the northern facade of the basilica at the site “Ruler`s Church – Necropolis”. It was archaeologically dated back to the first quarter of the 11th century.

Three archaeomagnetic applications of archaeological interest to the study of burnt anthropogenic cave sediments [PDF]
Recent archaeomagnetic studies carried out on Mid-to Late Holocene burnt anthropogenic cave sediments have shown that under certain conditions, these materials are suitable geomagnetic field recorders.
