Paleotemperature models of the Phanerozoic foci of hydrocarbon generation for wells belonging to the Severo-Kalinov and Kalinov fields in Tomsk region [PDF]

Нефтегазовая геология: Теория и практика
This paper suggests a new method of coupled paleotemperature modelling of the Nyurol Paleozoic basin and the blanketing younger Mesozoic-Cenozoic basin. Modelling show that under the geological and geophysical circumstances of the Severo-Kalinov and the ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

The Provenance of Silver in the Viking‐Age Hoard From Bedale, North Yorkshire

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The acquisition of silver was a key motive propelling the Viking expansion out of Scandinavia; identifying the sources of Viking silver during the early part of the Viking Age can provide critical insights into the relative significance of western European and eastern, Islamic wealth in the Viking expansion.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

The Fiery Eyes of a Maenad: Origin Determination of Faceted Garnet Eye Inlays in a Roman Bronze Bust From Southern Tyrol

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as
