Spartan dependence on Laurion lead

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 65, Issue 5, Page 1044-1058, October 2023., 2023
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 ...

Decline of seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) production over two decades in the face of warming of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2126-2137, September 2023., 2023
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

From refugia to contact: Pine processionary moth hybrid zone in a complex biogeographic setting. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2020
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.

Other ways to examine the finances behind the birth of Classical Greece

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 570-586, June 2023., 2023
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.

The antimicrobial mechanism of Greek thyme honeys against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates: a case study of comparison with Manuka honey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 57, Issue 11, Page 7076-7084, November 2022., 2022
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.

Ability of cereal species for nitrogen uptake from cover crop rhizodeposits is not related to domestication level

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 185, Issue 5, Page 589-602, October 2022., 2022
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 ...

THE POZO MORO RELIEFS (CHINCHILLA, SPAIN): A MEDITERRANEAN HERO BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 250-267, August 2021., 2021
Summary At Pozo Moro, archaeologists discovered the oldest series of architectural and sculptural remains currently known in Iberian culture. It is traditionally assumed that they were part of a single ten‐meters‐high tower that was built – and immediately collapsed – in the late sixth century BC, some fifty years before an Iberian necropolis ...

From commodity to money: The rise of silver coinage around the Ancient Mediterranean (sixth–first centuries bce)

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 142-155, February 2021., 2021
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

Private participation in ruler cults : dedications to Philip Soter and other Hellenistic Kings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hellenistic ruler cult has generated much scholarly interest and an enormous bibliography; yet, existing studies have tended to focus on the communal character of the phenomenon, whereas the role of private individuals (if any) in ruler worship has ...
