Assessing the analytical capabilities of handheld laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (hLIBS) on corroded iron objects of possible meteoritic origin

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite meteorites having been recognized as the source of iron in some ancient iron artifacts, few archeological irons have been analyzed so far, as invasive methods are precluded. In this work, four iron knives and one axe collected near Guelmime and Imilchil (Morocco) were investigated by advanced analytical techniques, including handheld ...

Integration of Micro‐CT and XRF Mapping for Multimodal 3D Analysis of Polychrome Wooden Artifacts

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 834-848, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past 5 years, computer applications have become crucial to archeological research. Since the 1990s, the focus has transitioned from data management tools to the development of virtual models. Recently, digital documentation of cultural heritage has gained considerable focus, with 3D modeling of objects.

Ceramic ecology in an Islamic capital: changes in the production and consumption of pottery in Palermo

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 555-575, November 2026.
Palermo became the new capital of Sicily after the Aghlabid conquest in 831. The transformation of the city into a capital took many forms, including the production and consumption of pottery. The perspective from ceramic evidence shows that Palermo underwent faster and deeper processes of Islamization than other urban and rural contexts across the ...

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).
