Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

EFFECTS OF SOME NATURAL SOIL AMENDMENTS AND WATER REQUIREMENTS ON THE GROWTH AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF SOME LAWNS (PASPALUM VAGINATUM, L.) [PDF]

Scientific Journal of Flowers and Ornamental Plants
The aim of this research was to improve properties of calcareous soil by adding two natural soil conditioners (sand + compost) with different rations, i.e., calcareous, calcareous + composted leaves (3:1 v/v), calcareous + sand (3:1 v/v) and calcareous +

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.

Connected inner pore analysis of calcareous sands using SEM

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
Calcareous sand is a special kind of geotechnical sand which consists of much carbonate. Based on the remains of the original marine organisms, the calcareous sand grains have irregular shapes and contain inner pores.

Materials Characterization and Technological Aspects of Hellenistic Grey Ware Lamps From Nysa‐Scythopolis (Israel): Evidence Suggesting Local Production?

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grey ware lamp fragments and a production waster from Tell Iẓṭabba (Israel) were analyzed to determine their manufacturing technology and provenance. These were compared with a light brown‐orange reference fabric from the same site.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Stress‒dilatancy behaviour of calcareous sand

E3S Web of Conferences
Calcareous sands are a special geomaterial primarily composed of calcium carbonate or other insoluble carbonate materials susceptible to breakage. Therefore, breakage has a crucial impact on the change of calcareous sand granulation and the shape of individual grains during shear.
