From quarry to code
First comprehensive provenance study of white marble from inland Roman Thrace (Chatalka region). • Integrated multi-proxy analyses ensure robust and reliable marble provenancing. • Berkovitsa, Asenovgrad, Armira and Kamilski Dol identified as key regional marble sources. • Local Thracian marble dominated architectural, sculptural and votive production. • Selective use of imported Prokonnesian marble reflects elite and symbolic choices.

The Mass Production of Food Serving Bowls from the 4th to the 1st Millennium BCE at Arslantepe (Türkiye)
This diachronic study focuses on the mass production of bowls across various socio-cultural contexts to compare and examine production practices during the Late Chalcolithic and the Early Iron Age periods at the site of Arslantepe (Türkiye). We found that mass production met various needs such as efficiency, consistency, and accessibility. By comparing typological data, coefficients of variation, as well as archaeometric and technological data, o…
Quantifying Morphological Standardization through Binary Matrices with an Application to the Ceramic Assemblage of an Early Complex Society
This paper presents a comparative analysis of two methods for assessing the standardization of vessels found in the Late Chalcolithic 5 level of Arslantepe in Eastern Anatolia (phase VI A of the site sequence, ca. 3400–3200 BCE). One method, commonly employed in ceramic studies, involves calculating the coefficient of variation from a series of vessel dimensions. The second method, introduced here, focuses on the overall morphology of vessel prof…
Innovative archiving of raw materials
Investigating the earliest Bronze Age contacts between Sicily and the Levant
A pottery fragment found in a 14th-century BCE context on the tell of Beirut belongs to a vessel of the Thapsos type imported from Sicily and represents the earliest known Bronze Age Sicilian product that reached the Levantine coast. Employing petrography and neutron activation analysis, we analyzed typological parallels for that vessel from southeastern Sicily in order to determine its exact provenance region. The wider area of Syracuse is known…
Pottery production, early urbanization and the Uruk phenomenon at Tell Brak in Upper Mesopotamia
Tell Brak is one of the largest sites in Upper Mesopotamia, where urbanism and social complexity already emerged in the late 5th and early 4th millennia BCE. This paper combines ceramic petrography and trace element analyses to examine how these changes impacted pottery production and regional trade. The results indicate that paste preparation modes, unlike shaping procedures, remained unaffected by urbanization, with paste recipes showing no lin…
Earthen stories. Cross-craft strategies in raw material procurement and production at the tell site of Arslantepe (Türkiye) during the 4th millennium BCE
Designing a ‘yellow brick road’ for the archaeometric analyses of fired and unfired bricks
Petrographic and geochemical analyses of Late Bronze and Iron Age pottery from Arslantepe (Malatya, Turkey)
In this paper, we analyzed Late Bronze and Iron Age pottery assemblages from the site of Arslantepe (Malatya, eastern Turkey) by utilizing a combination of thin-section petrography and X-ray wavelength dispersive fluorescence techniques. Following an introduction to the site and an overview of the archeological and historical evidence, the analysis is presented, and the outcomes discussed in the wider framework of the Syro-Anatolian and eastern M…
Looking for Ephesian workshops
In this pilot study, Late Hellenistic mold-made lamps from Ephesos are investigated by combining chrono-morphological and stylistic features with thin-section petrography and neutron activation analysis. Coeval wares of Ephesian production and clay samples collected around the site as well as published data from the Bonn database are considered local reference material. The results point to a network of local/regional workshops sharing facilities…
Centralisation and decentralisation processes and pottery production at Arslantepe (SE Anatolia) during the 4th and early 3rd millennium BCE
We explore the Late Chalcolithic 3–4 to Early Bronze Age I pottery from Arslantepe by combining compositional, technological and morpho-typological analyses. The paper investigates to what extent economic and political changes affected the organisation of production in terms of natural resources, human labour, and practices. The wheel-finished vessels show a strong continuity in the raw materials, while the organisation of labour changed with an …
The role of ceramic analyses in shaping our understanding of the cultural landscapes of protohistoric Sicily and the Aeolian islands
Petrographic and neutron activation analysis of Late Iron Age amphorae from the south western Iberian Peninsula
Petrography and Micromorphology Face-to-Face
Soils and sediments are among the most commonly found materials in archaeological contexts, occurring in a myriad of forms. We need only think of pottery, which is a manipulated and fired sediment, or the different earthen deposits that compose the bulk of many sites. Traditionally, the study of the microscopic and compositional characteristics of pottery has been the focus of ceramic archaeometry, while the microstratigraphic analysis of archaeo…
Pottery production in pastoral communities
P-XRF analysis of multi-period Impasto and Cooking Pot wares from the excavations at Stromboli-San Vincenzo, Aeolian Islands, Italy
This exploratory study focuses on the elemental analysis by p-XRF (portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analyser) of 62 samples of coarse wares, consisting of Bronze Age handmade burnished ware, so-called Impasto, and of Cooking ware (dated from the Roman period to Modern times). All wares originate from the site of San Vincenzo, Stromboli, and Aeolian Islands. The question addressed here is whether it is possible to differentiate between local (Aeolian) …
Petrographic and Geochemical Investigations on the Pottery Production from Arslantepe–Malatya (Eastern Anatolia) from the Fourth to the Second Millennium BCE
The petrographic and geochemical analyses of 130 Late Chalcolithic 3 (LC3, 3800 bce ) to Early Bronze Age IIIB (EBAIIIB, 2000 bce ) ceramics from Arslantepe and the Malatya Plain in the Eastern Anatolian Upper Euphrates have identified critical differences in raw material procurement and paste preparation, reflecting typological, chronological and cultural changes. Based on these differences, distinct modes of production that correspond to phases…
