Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Tin–Lead Sewn Tokens From 13th‐Century Gdańsk: Assessing Local and Non‐Local Production Through Archaeometric Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the results of an interdisciplinary investigation of 98 tin–lead sewn tokens from 13th‐century Gdańsk, the largest assemblage of its kind in Central Europe. Combining archaeological context, typology, SEM‐EDS and lead isotope analysis, the research explores provenance, production and function.

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

Activism for Socialist Industrial Heritage in Romania: The Carbochim Project Controversy

Area, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This study aims to better understand activism in the Romanian post‐socialist society during a struggle to preserve the socialist industrial heritage of Carbochim, in Cluj‐Napoca, Romania. From an urban activist perspective, we present a failed heritagisation process because of commercial‐oriented real estate development, but that enables
