From commodity to money: The rise of silver coinage around the Ancient Mediterranean (sixth-first centuries bce). [PDF]
The reasons why the Western Mediterranean, especially Carthage and Rome, resisted monetization relative to the Eastern Mediterranean are still unclear. We address this question by combining lead (Pb) and silver (Ag) isotope abundances in silver coinage from the Aegean, Magna Graecia, Carthage and Roman Republic. The clear relationships observed between

Thasian and Rhodian Stamped Amphorae from Edirne Archaeology and Ethnography Museum
Amphorae are stamped by production centers, especially in the Aegean Region. Stamps, which are epigraphic evidence, provide the date of the layer or context they were found by determining the origin of the amphorae and reveals the commercial relations ...

From refugia to contact: Pine processionary moth hybrid zone in a complex biogeographic setting. [PDF]
In this study, we show evidences of natural hybridization between two pine processionary moth species in Turkey by using mitochondrial and nuclear markers. We found asymmetric hybridization in a limited zone and tried to explain how the complex geographic history of the region might contribute to the observed genetic pattern.

Spartan dependence on Laurion lead
Abstract This article presents contextual evidence for the interpretation of lead isotope analysis (LIA) of artefacts from the Archaic Greek Mediterranean. In particular, I make a response to Wood’s suggestion in Archaeometry (2022, first view, ‘Other ways to examine the finances behind the birth of Classical Greece’) that the end of the production of ...

Summary The response of Posidonia oceanica meadows to global warming of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, where the increase in sea surface temperature (SST) is particularly severe, is poorly investigated. Here, we reconstructed the long‐term P. oceanica production in 60 meadows along the Greek Seas over two decades (1997–2018), using lepidochronology. We

Other ways to examine the finances behind the birth of Classical Greece
Abstract Although the birth of Classical Greece is often attributed to the constitutional reforms of Cleisthenes (508/507 BCE), the achievement of an economically minded government under the Peisistratid tyrant Hippias (527–510 BCE) potentially paved the way by advancing Athenian silver for exportation in international trade.

Timbres inédits de Tomis [PDF]
Recent excavations in ancient Tomis (Western shore of the Black Sea) produced a few amphora stamps we publish here. New eponyms are being added for Tomis with respect to the expected production centers of Rhodos, Thasos, Sinope and Cnidus.

Thyme honeys, upon dilution, showed substantial accumulation of H2O2 and gluconic acid that caused (a) intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and (b) cell membrane damage to MRSA strains. Summary The antibacterial potential of honey has been of great scientific interest.

Abstract Background Cereal cultivars vary in root traits, and it can be proposed that wild forms and old cultivars are more adapted to using organic nitrogen (N) sources. Aims Investigating N uptake from cover crop (CC) rhizodeposits by wheat and barley of different domestication level and their wild relatives, we expected a more efficient N uptake by ...
