A kingdom with blackened teeth 2,000 years ago
Tooth blackening, the deliberate modification of teeth to achieve a lustrous black appearance, is well documented in modern Vietnam, but its ancient practice remains elusive. This study applies chemical analyses to Iron Age human teeth from the Dong Xa site in northern Vietnam, dated to approximately 2000 years ago. By integrating compositional results with ethnographic parallels and experimental controls, we identify a diagnostic signature of to…
Elemental analysis of glass ornaments from Liziwei
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of glass ornaments excavated from the Liziwei site in southwestern Taiwan (the 1 st to the 8 th century CE) to explore the dynamics of local and trans-regional exchange network during the Metal Age. Using Laser Ablation - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), we identified three principal chemical…
All that glitters is not pyrite
Different types of iron ore and pyrite were used to craft a wide variety of reflective artifacts in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, including “mirrors,” pectorals, necklaces, and dental inlays, among others. In the Maya region, most of these have only been visually assessed, without using analytical techniques. Consequently, our understanding of the diversity of raw materials used in artifact production has been limited. This article presents prelimin…
Late prehistoric and early historic chronology of Myanmar
Myanmar is located within an important geographic corridor of prehistoric demographic and technological exchange, yet relatively few archaeological sites have been securely dated. Here, the authors present a new radiocarbon chronology for Halin, a UNESCO-listed complex in the north-central Sagaing Division of Myanmar, which contributes to the generation of nuanced regional chronologies and to improving the temporal resolution of Southeast Asia mo…
Beyond 'Community Craft Specialisation' in Prehistoric Mainland Southeast Asian Metallurgy
Archaeology in Lopburi Province has been under long-term development since the 1970s and has led to the discovery of Khao Wang Prachan Valley (KWPV) as one of three currently known primary copper production (mining and smelting) sites in Southeast Asia. However, since the 1980s, archaeometallurgical research has focused mainly on the two sites of Non Pa Wai (NPW) and Nil Kham Haeng (NKH), dated from the Neolithic (ca. 1800 B.C.) to Early Iron Age…
Glass beads from Guishan in Iron Age Taiwan
Archaeological excavations at Guishan in the southern end of Taiwan have recovered more than a hundred glass beads dating to mid-1st millennium CE. This research investigates the exchange of glass beads between Guishan, eastern Taiwan and Southeast Asia, by analysing the styles, chemical composition and microstructure of 64 glass beads from Guishan, using SEM-EDS, EPMA and LA-ICP-MS. The findings suggest that beads with an m-Na-Al glass and v-Na-…
Late Neolithic to Early-Mid Bronze Age semi-precious stone bead production and consumption at Oakaie and Nyaung’gan in central-northern Myanmar
Preclassic Mesoamerican dental inlays
Dental modifications, especially dental inlays, were one of the most characteristic biocultural traditions in Ancient Mesoamerica. The main objective of this brief report is to identify the raw material used to elaborate dental inlays in the archaeological site of Reynosa, located in the Southern Pacific Coast of Guatemala. The recent discovery of a massive burial, dated roughly in the Middle-Late Preclassic Period (500 BC–200 BC), put the site i…
The anomaly of glass beads and glass beadmaking waste at Jiuxianglan, Taiwan
Glass beads and beadmaking waste have been excavated at the Iron Age site of Jiuxianglan (ca. third century BC-eighth century AD) in southeastern Taiwan. It was suggested that this site may be a production and exchange centre of glass beads in Iron Age Taiwan. This paper presents the analysis of 44 samples, to explore the relationship between glass beads and waste and the nature of bead production at Jiuxianglan. The analysis combines data on sty…
A first absolute chronology for Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Myanmar
Le « cycle de jade » kanak. Réévaluation archéologique d’un réseau d’échanges traditionnels (Mélanésie du Sud)
À l’arrivée des navigateurs européens, à la fin du xviiie siècle, les chefferies kanak des différentes îles de la Nouvelle-Calédonie étaient en relations formalisées à courte et moyenne distance grâce au fonctionnement de différents réseaux d’échanges, dont le plus célèbre décrit ethnographiquement est connu sous le nom de « cycle du jade ». Standardisé par l’ethnologie du xxe siècle en un axe unique d’échange, principalement à partir d’une sourc…
Melting and crystallization of andesite from Chilungshan, Northern Taiwan
Determining an age for the Inararo Tuff eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, based on correlation with a distal ash layer in core MD97-2142, South China Sea
Ancient jades map 3,000 years of prehistoric exchange in Southeast Asia
We have used electron probe microanalysis to examine Southeast Asian nephrite (jade) artifacts, many archeologically excavated, dating from 3000 B.C. through the first millennium A.D. The research has revealed the existence of one of the most extensive sea-based trade networks of a single geological material in the prehistoric world. Green nephrite from a source in eastern Taiwan was used to make two very specific forms of ear pendant that were d…
