Materials Characterization and Technological Aspects of Hellenistic Grey Ware Lamps From Nysa‐Scythopolis (Israel): Evidence Suggesting Local Production?

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grey ware lamp fragments and a production waster from Tell Iẓṭabba (Israel) were analyzed to determine their manufacturing technology and provenance. These were compared with a light brown‐orange reference fabric from the same site.

Technologies of Transition: Pottery Production and Specialization in Early Rome and Its Neighbors. Neutron Activation Analysis of Regional Assemblages and a Mineralogical‐Petrographic Study of Impasto Chiaro‐Sabbioso

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The following paper investigates ceramic production and signs of specialization in Rome and the wider region during the early first millennium bce, through an archaeometric approach using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), and complementary techniques.

The Making of Forum Ware: A High‐Resolution Archaeometric Study of Early Medieval Glazed Pottery From the Templum Pacis (Imperial Forum, Rome)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The object of this study consists of an archaeometric investigation of Early medieval Forum Ware glazed ceramics found in the central archaeological area of Rome, a significant chronological and economic marker for 8th–11th centuries. Instrumental analysis included digital microscopy, ESEM‐EDS imaging, EDS spectral analysis, EMPA quantitative ...

An Uncommon Instance of Egyptian Blue in the “Pigmented Intonachino” of the Fishpond Wall Painting From the Roman Villa of Torre di Pordenone (Northeast Italy)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasingly close integration of analytical techniques in the study of Greek and Roman wall paintings has shown that Egyptian blue was a common pigment, widely documented in the production of blue and greenish hues in ancient painted production.

Diffusion-adsorption of Water Vapor in Chemically Activated Lunar Soil

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Silicate grains on the lunar surface have a wide range of desorption energies due to activated surface sites that persist in the extreme vacuum of space. Two endmember models of adsorption are constructed that represent opposite extremes for the mobility

Ceramic Raw Materials and Technological Choices in Iron Age Tyre (Lebanon): A Multiproxy, Fabric‐Based Approach

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematically integrated, multiproxy characterisation of Iron Age ceramics from Tyre (Lebanon). Ninety‐nine ceramic samples from stratified Iron Age contexts on Tyre's Acropolis, together with a small Late Bronze Age and raw‐clay reference set, were analysed using petrography, microfossil identification, X‐ray ...

The Materiality of the Cloggs Cave Rockshelter's Painting, GunaiKurnai Country (East Gipplsland), Southeastern Australia

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The materiality of the white pigment motif at the Cloggs Cave rockshelter, near Buchan in GunaiKurnai Country (southeastern Australia), contains details about the cultural and environmental contexts in which the art was created and preserved. Here, we (1) present physicochemical analyses of the pigment composition; (2) explore implications for

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
