7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 277-311, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Elemental concentration via portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry: Assessing the impact of water content

Ciência e Agrotecnologia
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis can be considered one of the main recent advances for chemical characterization of earth materials. The water content of the samples can affect the pXRF performance.

Quality from Kent: Preliminary results from the analysis of fifth‐ to seventh‐century silver alloys

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S4, Page S10-S38, July 2026.
Abstract This paper explores early results from the chemical and lead isotope analysis of 30 silver‐alloy objects from southeast England dating between the fifth and seventh centuries CE, presenting limited aspects of the three main analyses that were conducted. First, a comparison of the results gained from surface x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) values and

Einsatz der PXRF-Analytik zur petrographischen Klassierung eines umfassenden Fundinventars an Gesteinsartefakten [PDF]

, 2019
Archaeological rock artefacts are often very fine-grained and an unequivocal visual classification may thus be difficult, even for geologists. Geoscientific analytical methods would allow an unambiguous classification; however, they are not free of ...

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

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S4, Page S86-S106, July 2026.
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.

Soil Lead Risks Associated With Urbanization Histories in Springfield MA and Hartford CT, USA

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Due to legacy leaded products, soil Pb is generally higher in older urban centers triggering substantial implications for environmental equity. By integrating a gridded soil Pb analysis of about 150 samples each in two historically industrial cities (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA) with block‐level census data, we tested the hypotheses that (
