Wari Lithic Technology on the Northern Coast of the Andes: Geochemical, 2D Geometric Morphometric, and Technological Analyses of Obsidian Bifaces From San José de Moro

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 994-1008, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.

An overview of the knapped stone economy at the Tărtăria site (Romania)

open access: yesJournal of Lithic Studies, 2016
This study focused on sourcing the lithic artefacts from the Tărtăria site in the Transylvanian Basin. The objective was to establish a model of the procurement patterns of the population at the settlement. This site is located along the middle region of

Visible to Near‐Infrared Properties of Felsic Rocks: Plagioclase Detection Limits and Applications to Mars Orbital Spectra

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Widespread plagioclase detections on Mars using orbital visible to near infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra have led to multiple interpretations of “feldspathic” terrain, ranging from ancient crustal material and evolved plutons to volcanic lava flows.

Obsidian Sourcing and Characterization in the Celebes Region: An Initial Interpretation on the “Celebes Seafaring People”

open access: yesOpen Archaeology, 2019
The peopling of Island Southeast Asia is told through the Austronesian migration theory. During the Neolithic Period (ca. 6000–5000 BP), the Austronesians entered the Philippines altering the cultural landscape and heralding the beginning of the ...

Oxygen isotope variability in the IIIAB iron meteorites and their relationship to main group pallasites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2393-2405, September 2026.
Abstract The light element distribution in planetary cores and the processes driving core evolution in rocky planets are poorly understood. Magmatic iron meteorites are samples from the cores of ancient embryonic planetesimals and therefore provide a window into the processes governing core evolution. We performed high precision oxygen isotope analyses

A Microphysical Model for Predicting Magma Fragmentation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when coherent bubbly magma breaks apart in a process called “fragmentation.” Accurate conceptual and numerical models of fragmentation are a pre‐requisite for prediction of eruption explosivity. However, existing models, which neglect bubble‐scale magma physics, agree poorly with new experimental evidence ...

Advanced Experiment Design Strategies for Drug Development

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
Wang et al. analyze 592 drug development studies published between 2020 and 2024 that applied design of experiments methodologies. The review surveys both classical and emerging approaches—including Bayesian optimization and active learning—and identifies a critical gap between advanced experimental strategies and their practical adoption in ...
