Inscriptions, filing, grinding and polishing marks on the bronze weapons from the Qin Terracotta Army in China
The origins of two purportedly pre-Columbian Mexican crystal skulls
The identification of carving techniques on Chinese jade
The Early Development of the Lapidary Engraving Wheel in Mesopotamia
Traditional views on the development of rotary motion were outlined by Childe (1954). He envisaged a progressive development of a concept that had originated in prehistoric times. Thus, perforated artefacts composed of shell and soft stone from Upper Palaeolithic levels yielded the earliest evidence for hand-held drills (Semenov 1964: 74–8). At least seven thousand years later, during the second half of the fourth millennium, potters in several p…
The introduction of the lapidary engraving wheel in Mesopotamia
Scanning electron microscopy provides an insight into the lapidary techniques of the ancient Near East. Engraved features on quartz cylinder seals have been compared to those produced experimentally, leading to a radical reassessment of the date for the introduction of the engraving wheel
