Old Data, New Horizons
In this article we present a methodological framework for integrating nondigital legacy excavation data with modern stratigraphic datasets in a 3D-GIS environment. Using a case study from the Late Bronze Age site of Hala Sultan Tekke (Cyprus), we demonstrate how georeferenced photogrammetric models can be combined with digitized legacy documentation to overcome inconsistencies in archival records. The approach enables the correction of elevation …
Immersive Art Exhibitions
The rise of multisensory-immersive technology has transformed visitor experiences in museums, yet a notable gap remains in distinguishing between immersive and traditional exhibitions. This study examines the added value of immersive exhibitions over traditional formats, specifically how sensory intensity influences experiential satisfaction. A survey of 356 participants who visited either a digital immersive exhibition rich in visual and auditor…
Sensory cues as transformative tools in driving inclusion
Museum visits are inherently multisensory, however, systematic research on leveraging sensory design to enrich experiences and tackle managerial challenges - particularly inclusion - remains scarce. This research investigates how strategically aligned sensory cues can enhance visitor engagement while providing insights for inclusive, effective museum management practices. Study 1 employed an experiment where participants viewed a painting under f…
Recording, Sharing and Linking Micromorphological Data
In archaeological soil and sediment micromorphology, research is grounded in observations made with petrographic microscopes. These observations are recorded using standardised terms and microphotographs. The two-pillar database system allows a user-friendly recording of these observations with I-GEOARCHrec and the possibility to link these data to field pictures and microphotographs publicly available in I-GEOARCHive
Multisensory museum experience
In museum and aesthetic contexts, the role of multisensory experiences in boosting visitor engagement is well-recognised.Yet, the diverse disciplinary perspectives have led to a scattered and sometimes unclear literature landscape.This article undertakes a systematic review, combining systematic literature extraction and qualitative content analysis of 331 academic sources to address the following questions: What are the theoretical underpinnings…
As Time Goes by
Contrary to the idiosyncratic “tell-type” urban settlements that epitomize Late Bronze Age societies in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East, a handful of major urban settlements on Cyprus, such as Hala Sultan Tekke and Maroni, embodied a completely different notion of urban engineering. Instead of dense urban city centers where numerous residents resided close to each other, these “atypical” settlements were apparently organized with broa…

To be purple or not to be purple? How different production parameters influence colour and redox in manganese containing glass

Geochemical survey of soil samples from the archaeological site Dromolaxia-Vyzakia (Cyprus), by means of micro-XRF and statistical approaches
Characterization of Archaeological Metal Remains in Micromorphological Thin Sections Using μXRF Elemental Mapping
The soil micromorphological examination of thin sections obtained from archaeological profiles is a well‐established approach in geoarchaeology. However, it provides only limited information about the nature of metal inclusions (shape and taphonomy but not elemental composition). Laboratory micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (μXRF) elemental mapping is a non‐destructive technique that can be applied directly to the resin‐impregnated sediment blocks from wh…

Late antique glass distribution and consumption in Cyprus
Coupling lead isotope analysis and petrography to characterize fabrics of storage and trade containers from H ala S ultan Tekke ( C yprus)
Lead isotopes, thin‐ and sherd‐section analyses are coupled on pottery‐vessel fragments excavated from the Late Bronze Age site of H ala S ultan Tekke (south‐east C yprus) and representing fabrics used for the production of storage and trade containers. The fabrics of the sherds are first described according to general macroscopic observations. Based on the different fabrics identified, a petrographic analysis is carried out on thin sections and …
Using Lead Isotopes to Determine Pottery Provenance in Cyprus
This paper presents the lead isotopic composition of potential clay sources for pottery production, collected in the four major geological zones of Cyprus (Troodos Ophiolite, Circum Troodos Sedimentary Succession, Mamonia Terrane, Kyrenia Terrane) and evaluates its usefulness in Cypriote pottery provenance studies. The clay isotopic signatures from the four zones are compared to each other and to the isotopic composition of various utilitarian po…

Quantitative WD‐XRF calibration for small ceramic samples and their source material
A wavelength‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WD‐XRF) calibration is developed for small powdered samples (300mg) with the purpose of analyzing ceramic artifacts that might be available only in limited quantity. This is compared to a conventional calibration using a larger sample mass (2g). The comparison of elemental intensities obtained in both calibrations shows that the decrease in analyzed sample mass results in a linear decrease in measured i…
Optical spectroscopy as a rapid and low-cost tool for the first-line analysis of glass artefacts
Lead Isotopic Analysis for the Identification of Late Bronze Age Pottery From Hala Sultan Tekke (Cyprus)
Lead isotopic compositions were measured for 65 sherds from five pottery wares (Plain White, Coarse, Canaanite, White Slip and Base-ring) excavated from the Late Bronze Age site of Hala Sultan Tekke (Cyprus). The elemental composition and isotopic signature of the sherds were compared with those of 65 clay samples collected in south-east Cyprus, mainly in the surroundings (<20 km) of Hala Sultan Tekke. This work shows the effectiveness of using l…
Deeply Coloured and Black Glass in the Northern Provinces of the Roman Empire
In this work we attempt to elucidate the chronological and geographical origin of deeply coloured and black glass dating between 100 bc and ad 300 on the basis of their major and trace element compositions. Samples from the western and eastern parts of the Roman Empire were analysed. Analytical data were obtained by means of a scanning electron microscope – energy‐dispersive system (SEM–EDS, 63 samples analysed) and laser ablation – inductively c…

Craftsmanship and the cultural / political identity of the Cypriote kingdoms. The case of Idalion and Tamassos
Dans cette contribution, nous examinons les rapports entre les entités politiques chypriotes de l'Âge du Fer et leur production artistique. Les données disponibles provenant d'Idalion et de Tamassos nous permettent de chercher si les styles régionaux étaient dictés et contrôlés par les élites du pouvoir. Nous examinons aussi ce que cela implique sur les interactions entre ces deux royaumes à l'Âge du Fer
