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.

Unravelling neomorphism: recrystallization pathways in Proterozoic microfossiliferous chert
Frontiers in Earth ScienceEarly diagenetic chert serves as a critical archive of life on Earth, yet the mechanisms of chert formation and diagenesis remain uncertain. The present research deciphers chert formation and recrystallization through petrographic observations of ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chert tools were widely used in prehistory by human societies due to their knapping suitability and availability, but their relatively uniform composition, especially in evaporitic cherts, complicates sourcing, requiring specialised analytical methods.

Boreas, EarlyView.Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

Processes and Patterns of Dolomite Precipitation in Aptian Pre‐Salt Deposits of Santos Basin, Brazil
Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Aptian pre‐salt lacustrine carbonates represent the most significant oil exploration target along the South Atlantic margin. Dolomitization of the Santos Basin Barra Velha Formation (BVF) is critical for reservoir quality, yet its origin, patterns, and evolution remain poorly understood.

WHAT ONCE WAS SHALL BE AGAIN: PALAEOLITHIC BIFACES AT THE NEOLITHIC SITE OF GIV'AT RABI EAST
Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.Summary Giv'at Rabi East is a Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site located in northern Israel, interpreted as a flint workshop. One area has been spatially identified as a ‘biface locality’; it is characterized by the presence of finished axes and preforms alongside débitage. Interestingly, Acheulean bifaces have also been recovered from this area.
