Tracking the Dynamics of human Colonisation and Adaptation in Central Vanuatu: Preliminary Results From Excavation and Survey at Pangpang, East Efate

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 221-236, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In October 2022 an extensive archaeological landscape was identified by staff of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre at Pangpang on the east coast of Efate Island in central Vanuatu. It included midden deposits on the banks of the Pangpang River near the sea at Forari Bay where Lapita and Early Erueti‐style pottery sherds were recovered.

Production of arsenical bronze using speiss on the Elephantine Island (Aswan, Egypt) during the Middle Kingdom (Middle Bronze Age) (c.2000–1650 BCE)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S1, Page S38-S63, April 2026.
Abstract This paper presents the first direct evidence of the slags produced during the cementation alloying process of Cu with speiss inside ceramic crucibles, thus representing Cu alloying with As in Middle Kingdom Egypt. The settlement deposits from the Middle Bronze Age were excavated on Elephantine Island, within modern Aswan.

Early Use of Lime Mortar at the Early Iron Age Piscina Torta Salt Production Site (Tiber Delta, Ostia, Italy)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large

Prediction of Foliar Nutrient Contents and Differentiation of Scion/Rootstock Combinations in Citrus via X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

AgriEngineering
Citriculture has worldwide importance, and monitoring the nutritional status of plants through leaf analysis is essential. Recently, proximal sensing has supported this process, although there is a lack of studies conducted specifically for citrus.
