Tracing Local Production and Agricultural Trade: A Multi-Analytical Study of Roman Amphorae at Conímbriga (Central Portugal)
Amphorae are a significant type of Roman pottery, serving as both transport containers and indicators of economic and technological practices across the Empire. Despite their importance in interpreting local economic dynamics in Roman Lusitania, the production origins, technological characteristics and functional roles of amphorae from Conímbriga in Portugal remain poorly understood. Previous research has focused primarily on typological comparis…
From Flanders to Portugal: A Portuguese Painter in Pursuit of Prestigious Flemish Painting—Materials and Techniques Compared Through an Analytical Approach
This study offers fresh insights into the technical and stylistic exchanges between Flemish and Portuguese panel painting during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. By comparing two contemporaneous works, we trace Flemish influence in Portugal through a detailed materials and techniques analysis. Non-invasive, in situ methods—including energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF), macro-photography (MP), infrared reflectography (IRR), and dendr…
Provenance and technology of relief and/or lustre glazed ceramics from Mértola (Portugal)
Local production of relief, lustre and relief-lustre wares confirmed in Mértola by analysis of ceramics samples. • Distinct glaze technologies observed in samples from Mértola and Coimbra. • Coimbra samples linked to Middle Eastern lustre and glaze technology, indicating imports. • Lustre decorations were obtaine using coppr (Mértola) and silver plus copper (Mértola and Coimbra) This paper presents a study of a selection of lustre, relief, and lu…
Aging of Limestones and Silane–Siloxane-Based Protective Hydrophobics: The Impact of Heating–Cooling and Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Stones are traditionally used in construction and architectural applications as building elements due to their aesthetic and technical/structural performance. Like other environmental factors (rain, humidity, moisture, salt presence, biological activity, etc.), heating–cooling and freeze–thaw cycles significantly threaten the longevity of stone materials. Hence, considering the socio-economic and cultural value of stones, preventive actions such …
Preliminary results of a multi-analytical study of ceramic technology in one of the earliest agropastoral villages of Northwestern Argentina (La Ciénega valley, ca. 200 BC- AD 900)
Archaeo-Material Study of the Cuneiform Tablet from Tel Beth-Shemesh
The Fifth Haverford excavation season at Tel Beth-Shemesh (Ain Shams) in 1933 revealed a fractured tablet bearing a cuneiform inscription dating to the Late Bronze Age. Considered to be the earliest alphabetic cuneiform text uncovered in the Canaanite arena outside of Ugarit, this tablet quickly became the focus of many studies. Later readings suggested that this was the earliest example of a South Semitic Alphabetical sequence. Through petrograp…
A multi‐analytical approach applied to pottery from Oman as a key to understanding ancient Indian Ocean maritime trade
The populations in Sumhuram (third/second century bce to fifth century ce ) and Hamr al‐Sharqiya 1 (HAS1) (first millennium bce to first/second century ce ) were involved in one of the most important examples of large‐scale trade systems in antiquity: the maritime network connecting the coasts of the Indian Ocean. This research focuses on a total of 35 southwestern Arabian and Indian pottery sherds from both the settlements of Sumhuram and Hamr a…

Como resultado da abordagem p…
Archaeometric Study of the Proto-Historic Ceramics From the Settlement of the Avecasta Cave (Ferreira Do Zêzere, Portugal)
The Avecasta Cave is the only proto-historic cave recognised as a settlement in the centre of Portugal. Other proto-historic caves in the centre of Portugal were normally used for ritual purposes. Based on its distinct function, it became essential to study uncovered ceramic sherds from the cave to contribute to the history of the people who lived there. So, this research aims to determine the ceramic samples’ technology, provenance, physical pro…
Stone Endurance: A Comparative Analysis of Natural and Artificial Weathering on Stone Longevity
The long-term endurance of building stones must be assured since their longevity has repercussions for their economic and social value. Frequently, slabs for flooring and cladding are installed with polished finishing in outdoor environments for technical and ornamental purposes in cultural heritage sites and modern civil architecture. Compared to any other finishing, glossy surfaces are rather vulnerable to wear, particularly when they interact …
Unveiling the Effectiveness of Innovative Commercial Coatings Used for the Preservation of Natural Stone—A Contribution
The preservation of natural stone heritage is still a major challenge for the scientific community. This topic assumes a greater importance since it impacts economic and socio-cultural values. Recent research has indicated that water action and microorganism activity are among the major contributors to the deterioration of this material. Despite the emergence of new protective solutions in the market, some constraints still need to be overcome. T…
Roof Tiles and Bricks of the Etruscan Domus dei Dolia ( Vetulonia , Italy): An Archaeological and Archaeometric Study of Construction Materials
In this article, the archaeological and archaeometrical study of several roof tiles and bricks retrieved at the Etruscan Domus dei Dolia is presented. The Domus is located in Etrusco-Roman neighbourhood (Hellenistic – Late Republican periods, third–first centuries BC) of the ancient city of Vetulonia (central Italy), in the area of Poggiarello Renzetti . The main goals were to establish the characteristics of the raw material/s used in their prod…
Personal adornments in West-Central Africa-the case study of a talc bead from the Kongo Kingdom (Mbanza Kongo, Angola)
A mustard-gold-colored talc bead was recovered during the 2014 excavation campaign carried out in Lumbu (Mbanza Kongo, Angola) together with the nineteenth-century glass trade beads imported from Bohemia and Venice. Results from this multi-analytical and minimally invasive study suggest that this bead may have been brought to the kingdom's capital by means of an established intra-kingdom trade network or as an offering intended for the king or a …
