Levantine Hacksilber and the flow of silver in early Mediterranean commerce
Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 1547-1564, December 2025.Abstract This study presents a comprehensive approach to provenancing ancient silver artefacts, introducing a novel algorithm to correct for mass‐dependent isotope fractionation. Applied to a Pb isotope database of 281 Hacksilber samples from southern Levantine hoards (1700–600 BCE) and compared with approximately 7000 galena ores from Spain to Iran ...

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Hellenic forearc is one of the least understood forearc systems globally due to limited availability of high‐resolution imagery of its deep structure, especially landward of the Mediterranean Ridge. Here, we combine widely spaced high‐resolution multichannel seismic‐reflection profiles with seafloor morpho‐bathymetric analysis and ...

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract We constrain the contribution of driving and resistive regional forces to the observed surface deformation in the Nubia‐Eurasia plate boundary region. We use a viscoelastic mechanical model with fault zones representing regional active faults. Deformation is driven by velocities of surrounding plates and by lateral variations in gravitational ...
