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

Foliar Elemental Analysis of Brazilian Crops via Portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Sensors, 2020
Foliar analysis is very important for the nutritional management of crops and as a supplemental parameter for soil fertilizer recommendation. The elemental composition of plants is traditionally obtained by laboratory-based methods after acid digestion ...

The permafrost mineral reserve: identify potential mineral nutrient hotspots upon thawing [PDF]

, 2018
The thawing of permafrost exposes organic matter to decomposition but also mineral constituents to water. To evaluate the potential to create mineral nutrients hotspots upon thawing, an inventory of the mineral element content and its local variability ...

Soil Sensing With a Handheld LIBS: Effect of Sample Preparation and Instrument Precision

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid and scalable methods for characterising soil elements are needed to understand soil conditions. Handheld Laser‐Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) enables simultaneous multi‐element analysis, but it requires sample preparation by grinding and pelleting, which is challenging for sandy soils due to their poor cohesion.

On Sourcing Stonehenge Sarsen Stone #58: A Response to Nash and Ciborowski's Comments

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 48-50, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This is a brief response to Nash and Ciborowski's comments in 2025 on our 2024 paper, which focused on the reinterpretation of geochemical data for Stonehenge stone #58 published by Nash et al. in 2020. We address the problems they perceived in our use of absolute elemental concentrations, our selection of discriminating elements, and single ...
