Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rings made on marine shell are a conspicuous artefact form found throughout cultural sequences for much of the Pacific over millennia. Despite their importance in both recent and ancient times, in‐depth consideration of the manufacturing processes involved in shell ring production are limited.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Temperate river floodplains present a significant challenge for archaeologists, as cultural and palaeoenvironmental remains are often difficult to locate but can be exceptionally well preserved, especially where groundwater levels are high. In these alluvial environments, the deposition of thick, fine‐grained sediments has potential to deeply ...

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The emergence and development of settlement mounds, also called tells, is of major interest for the analysis of socio‐economic transformations occurring in the lower Danube plain during the East European Chalcolithic period. In this context, the multiphase chronology and structural layout of tells are highly relevant indicators, but small ...

Deciphering Neolithic Habitation in Aegean Thrace Through Geophysical Prospection Surveys
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the relatively extensive archaeological research conducted in Greece focusing on the Neolithic period, Aegean Thrace remains one of the least studied regions. To address this gap, the MAPFARM (Mapping the Early Farmers in Thrace) project employed systematic archaeological surface survey combined with large‐scale geophysical prospection

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Preliminary geophysical investigations are a cost‐effective and efficient way to screen archaeological sites and locate buried structures. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most widely used methods for archaeological prospection, but in some sites, it cannot be employed effectively due to the presence of clay or other electrically ...

Making vertebrate fossil radiocarbon dates more useful for global scientific research
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Radiocarbon dating of bones is essential for reconstructing timelines of species' occurrences, domestication, extinction, migrations, and interactions with Quaternary environments. Many studies compile these chronologies at continental to global scales by aggregating radiocarbon dates from various sources, often balancing data quantity and ...

Raman Analysis of Roman Mosaics From the Upper Guadalquivir Valley (Spain)
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.This work is focused on the Raman analysis of two Roman mosaics from Jaén (Spain) using portable and benchtop equipment, complemented by elemental analysis using EDXRF and petrographic analysis. The results obtained have provided a detailed characterisation of the tesserae.

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.This paper presents a new protocol for the laboratory preparation of archaeological samples. Ceramics that have been hand‐crafted using different sediments as raw materials were collected in a Roman Villa sited in Fiumana (FC), Italy. This method aims at concentrating and analysing heavy minerals in the 15–250 μm grain size fraction, studying the ...
