Microbial mediation and climatic control on dolomite precipitation in a hypersaline lake: Insights from Salinas Lake, southern Iberia

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The cyclical nature of aridity and humidity led to the alternating deposition of dolomite‐rich and calcite‐rich sediments. During arid phases, the lake hydrology and growth of microbial mats under evaporative and hypersaline environment favors the precipitation of dolomite.

Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.

Investigating Query by Committee and Inverse‐Distance Based Exploration for Active Learning as Learning Strategies: An Application in Wood Dating

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 66-79, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a non‐destructive method, is capable of measuring changes in the major wood components cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin during degradation. Previous research evaluated the application of supervised machine learning based on molecular decay over specific preservation conditions, achieving a ...

Micrography and XRF Techniques to Investigate Protohistoric Gold Artifacts: The Case of Roca Vecchia (Lecce, Italy)

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 51-63, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Protohistoric gold findings from the archaeological site of Roca Vecchia (Melendugno, Lecce, Italy) are analyzed involving micrography and stratified XRF analysis. This exploitation allows to get a deeper insight into ancient gold manufacturing and wear processes adopted in the Southern Italian FBA.

BURIED ORNAMENTS: EXPLORING FUNERARY BEHAVIOURS IN THE CHALCOLITHIC FROM THE LOWER DANUBE

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 2-27, February 2026.
Summary This article focuses on personal adornments found in Chalcolithic funerary contexts from the Lower Danube. Generally, these artefacts are made from exotic raw materials originating from the Mediterranean sea, particularly Spondylus shells, along with Glycymeris or Antalis shells, and less frequently from local materials.
