Preliminary chemical studies at the jericho archaeological site
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021 This study measured the chemical composition of 45 ceramic samples from the Jericho archaeological site, Palestine, by means of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The mass fraction of Na, K, La, Sm, Yb, Lu, U, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, Rb, Cs, Ce,

Integrated X‐Ray, Gamma Radiation, and Micro‐CT Techniques for Quantitative Wood Characterization
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The present research integrates microcomputed tomography (micro‐CT), x‐ray fluorescence, and gamma‐ray transmission to quantitatively characterize wood species. A total of 22 samples from seven species were analyzed for density (ρ), linear attenuation coefficient (μ), Compton scattering, micro‐CT gray values (GV), porosity, mass attenuation ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)
