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
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 ...

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.
