Hidden in the Glaze: Cobalt Blue Decorations of Catalan Tin‐Glazed Ceramics From the 16th to 18th Centuries

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates technological evolution in 16th–18th century Catalan tin glazes and cobalt blue decorations. Analysis reveals three glaze strategies, highlighting shifts in tin oxide use and cobalt pigment composition. In the 16th century, tin oxide acted as an opacifier and cobalt pigments exhibit low arsenic content with CoO/NiO and ...

An Uncommon Instance of Egyptian Blue in the “Pigmented Intonachino” of the Fishpond Wall Painting From the Roman Villa of Torre di Pordenone (Northeast Italy)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasingly close integration of analytical techniques in the study of Greek and Roman wall paintings has shown that Egyptian blue was a common pigment, widely documented in the production of blue and greenish hues in ancient painted production.

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

Ceramic Raw Materials and Technological Choices in Iron Age Tyre (Lebanon): A Multiproxy, Fabric‐Based Approach

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematically integrated, multiproxy characterisation of Iron Age ceramics from Tyre (Lebanon). Ninety‐nine ceramic samples from stratified Iron Age contexts on Tyre's Acropolis, together with a small Late Bronze Age and raw‐clay reference set, were analysed using petrography, microfossil identification, X‐ray ...

Evaporitic Chert Provenance: Evaluating Petrographic and Geochemical Workflows for Source Discrimination

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chert tools were widely used in prehistory by human societies due to their knapping suitability and availability, but their relatively uniform composition, especially in evaporitic cherts, complicates sourcing, requiring specialised analytical methods.
