‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S9-S30, May 2026.
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 ...

Mott–Schottky Analysis of Archaeological Etruscan Pottery

open access: yesElectroanalysis, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Mott–Schottky plots of the inverse of the square of capacitance versus applied potential is used to study archaeological pottery from the Etruscan site of Pyrgi in Santa Severa (Rome, Italy). The application of Mott–Schottky (MS) analysis to electrochemical impedance data recorded for microparticulate deposits of archaeological ceramic materials is ...

Archaeology, science-based archaeology and the Mediterranean Bronze Age metals trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Archaeologists often seem either sceptical of science-based archaeology or baffled by its results. The underpinnings of science-based archaeology may conflict with social or behavioural factors unsuited to quantification and grouping procedures.

Eye makeup in Northwestern Iran at the time of the Assyrian Empire: a new kohl recipe based on manganese and graphite from Kani Koter (Iron Age III)

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S1, Page S7-S21, April 2026.
Abstract Kohl was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and routinely included among the toiletries deposited in burials. For Egypt, kohl recipes are increasingly well‐studied and known to use a range of inorganic and organic ingredients. Although these are often lead‐based, manganese‐ and silicon‐rich compounds are also attested.
