Analysis of prehistoric brown earth paleosols under the podzol soils of Exmoor, UK [PDF]

, 2020
The deforestation of the upland landscapes in southwest Britain during prehistory is an established archaeological narrative, documenting human impacts on the environment and questioning the relationship of prehistoric societies to the upland landscapes ...

Functional conservation and preservation of waterlogged archaeological wood

BioResources, 2023
Waterlogged archaeological wood of shipwrecks has been preserved under seawater for centuries, such that microbial erosion has caused severe bacterial degradation and acidification. These wooden cultural relics are of great significance for understanding the shipbuilding technology, trade activities, and environmental ecology of centuries ago. From the

The Viscoelastic Behaviour of Waterlogged Archaeological Wood Treated with Methyltrimethoxysilane [PDF]

Materials, 2021
Waterlogged wood treatment with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) proved effective in stabilising wood dimensions upon drying (anti-shrink efficiency of 76–93%). Before the method can be proposed as a reliable conservation treatment, further research is required that includes the evaluation of the mechanical properties of treated wood. The aim of the study

High‐resolution multiparametric MRI of contemporary and waterlogged archaeological wood [PDF]

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, 2020
Abstract High‐resolution NMR images on three different present‐day wood samples and an archaeological wood specimen were presented and discussed. Although the spatial resolution is still low to perform dendrology for the exact identification of the wooden species, the T 2 ...

Recent palaeoenvironmental evidence for the processing of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in eastern England during the medieval period [PDF]

, 2005
[FIRST PARAGRAPH] Hemp (Cannabissativa L.)— whose origins as a domesticated plant probably lie in C.Asia — has been cultivated in England since at least a.d.800 (and before this perhaps in the Roman Period), mainly for its ¿bre, which was used to make ...

Fire and memory: transforming place using fire at henge monuments [PDF]

, 2017
Henges — Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age earthwork monuments — often have long life-histories of reuse and rebuilding over generations. At some sites, fire-lighting and the deposition of fire-altered materials played a significant role in certain ...

Identification of bacterial taxa in archaeological waterlogged wood

Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage, 2014
Summary The microscopic and molecular techniques described in this study are aimed at understanding the degradation processes of the anatomical structure of submerged archaeological wood, correlating it to the degradation induced by bacteria. The SEM micrographs showed alterations of the wooden structure due to bacterial colonization, as well as the ...

'The debatable territory where geology and archaeology meet': reassessing the early archaeobotanical work of Clement Reid and Arthur Lyell at Roman Silchester [PDF]

, 2017
The first large-scale archaeobotanical study in Britain, conducted from 1899 to 1909 by Clement Reid and Arthur Lyell at Silchester, provided the first evidence for the introduction of Roman plant foods to Britain, yet the findings have thus far ...

Wetland sulfur isotope signals and dynamic isotope baselines: implications for archaeological research

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Sulfur isotopic composition (δ34S) is used in archaeological research to reconstruct past mobility patterns and diet using environmental baselines. Human and faunal collagen δ34S is generally interpreted as reflecting environmental baselines derived from
