Geoarchaeology in the Absence of Layers: Large‐Scale Sampling From an Iron Age Urban Context in the Southern Levant

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of erosion and postdepositional processes is essential for reconstructing site formation in ancient tells. At Tel1 Burna, a multiperiod stratified site in the Shephelah region of central Israel, we integrate portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF), portable optically stimulated luminescence (pOSL), and organic residue ...
