  • Plant-ash glass in Natronland

    Open AccessDavid J Govantes-Edwards, Peter Cosyns et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2026References: 12

    This article examines available evidence for the use of plant ashes in glassmaking in the Mediterranean basin and Europe from the 1st to the 8th-9th century CE. During this period, glassmaking in these regions was overwhelmingly dominated by mineral fluxes, primarily natron, but the chemical composition of some glasses found in secure archaeological contexts suggests the use of plant ashes in these glasses, which are, on the other hand, compositi…

  • Early Use of Lime Mortar at the Early Iron Age Piscina Torta Salt Production Site (Tiber Delta, Ostia, Italy)

    Open AccessF Bulian, J Sevink et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2026References: 28

    This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large complex of dumps, holding kilns and working floors. Lime mortar‐like materials were abundantly present i…

  • From Hellenistic slipped tableware to Roman Imperial Sagalassos Red Slip Ware

    Open AccessChristiana Kelepeshi, Dennis Braekmans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2024References: 12

    This paper offers new insights from the petrographic and geochemical characterisation of 92 pottery samples from the archaeological site of Sagalassos in SW Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The sampled table wares form part of the Hellenistic to Roman Imperial local pottery production lines. The aim of this study is to reconstruct in more detail the tableware production at the site and examine Sagalassos Red Slip Ware (SRSW) in comparison with the p…

  • Mortar recipes from the Roman Imperial Bath-Gymnasium and Urban Mansion of Sagalassos – A technological perspective

    Open AccessMatilde Quilici, Jan Elsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2024References: 8

    This work presents the results of the examination of mortars from the archaeological site of Sagalassos in Anatolia (Ağlasun, Burdur Province, Southwest Turkey). The 36 specimens were selected from structures within the Roman Imperial Bath-Gymnasium and Urban Mansion, respectively dating to the 1st-6/7th century CE and the 1st century BCE-7th century CE. These samples underwent macroscopic, microscopic, physical, granulometric and spectroscopic e…

  • Petrographic insight into the sourcing and production of pre‐colonial Ceramics from Aruba

    Open AccessSimone Casale, Niels Groot et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2024Cited by: 1References: 6

    This research presents the findings of a petrographic analysis conducted on pre‐colonial Ceramics from Aruba, focusing on understanding ceramic mineral resources and production. The study compared ceramics from nine sites with a selection of clay sources from the island. Petrographic analysis identified the existence of three different mineralogical compositions. Two groups of undecorated vessels were likely manufactured using locally sourced cla…

  • Speiss at Amarna (Egypt, c. 1353–1336 BCE) – Exotic anachronism or cherished commodity

    Open AccessFrederik W Rademakers, Marie Vandenbeusch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2024Cited by: 1References: 8

    This paper presents the most comprehensive study of speiss from the Late Bronze Age world published so far, and the first detailed study of speiss from the Nile Valley overall. It combines the results of XRD, optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, trace element (ICP-OES and ICP-MS) and lead isotopic analysis to fully characterise two fragments of speiss from the 18th Dynasty capital Amarna in Egypt, now in the British Museum collection. This multi-analytic…

  • Ancient white and grey marbles from Aphrodisias

    The paper presents the results of the archaeometric investigation, conducted for the first time with the use of a wide range of analytical methods, on white and grey marbles exploited in the so‐called City and Regional Quarries of Aphrodisias (south‐western Turkey). The research, based on a multi‐method approach and performed on a representative set of samples, was aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the most important properties of Ap…

    This study investigates lead provenance and circulation patterns in Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD) China through the analysis of lead glazed pottery. Four objects were studied using a combination of typological study, elemental chemistry and lead isotope ratio analysis. The results for each object were compared with databases of 'lead mining districts' (lead deposits) and 'lead usage districts' (lead-containing artifacts unearthed in different spatial…

  • The Amulets from the Carthaginian tophet

    P Degryse, Grace Dove et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ancient History2023

    Amulets found in burial urns of the Carthaginian tophet are discussed in terms of frequency of occurrence, and the nature and chronology of their material composition. Amulets were added in only 31 % of the urns studied, exclusively to urns containing human remains, with glass, faience, gold and silver the most common materials used. Chemical analysis of a selection of glass and silver amulets identified the primary origin of raw materials used i…

  • Uniformity in Tophet Ceramics

    Open AccessDennis Braekmans, Brien Garnand et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ancient History2023

    Burial urns and lids found in the Carthage tophet precinct play a pivotal role in our understanding of material trajectories. Significant differences in macroscopic features present problems as to where and how these vessels were made. In general, issues in sourcing north African ceramic materials stem from their compositional homogeneity, having mostly sand and calcareous fractions varying to a greater or lesser degree. In this paper we present …

  • Metals and pigments at Amara West

    Open AccessFrederik W Rademakers, Johannes Auenmüller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2023Cited by: 3References: 22

    This paper presents the results of elemental and lead isotopic analysis of copper alloys, copper-based pigments and an extremely rare tin-based alloy from the town of Amara West (Sudan), the centre for pharaonic control of occupied Upper Nubia between 1300 and 1070 BCE. It is the first assemblage of its kind to be analysed for Upper Nubia during this period. This research examines the selection and consumption of alloys in a colonial context, in …

  • Magical practices? A non-normative Roman imperial cremation at Sagalassos

    Open AccessJohan Claeys, J M Claeys et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2023References: 3

    Many thousands of burials have been excavated from across the Roman world, documenting a variety of funerary practices and rites. Individual burials, however, sometimes stand out for their atypical characteristics. The authors report the discovery of a cremation burial from ancient Sagalassos that differs from contemporaneous funerary deposits. In this specific context, the cremated human remains were not retrieved but buried in situ, surrounded …

  • A review of soil geochemistry in archaeology

    Open AccessJohn Bintliff, P DegryseARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2022

    Trace metal analysis of archaeological soils has grown in popularity in recent decades, as an additional means of measuring human impact on and off archaeological sites. Nonetheless there has been a tendency to ascribe such elements too easily to ancient metallurgy, whereas pollution research studies have identified many other causes of heightened trace metals in anthropogenic deposits. This article reviews the published history of research into …
