A multi-proxy geochemical and micromorphological study of the use of space and stratigraphy of a Viking-age house in Ribe, Denmark
High-definition approaches are currently revolutionizing our understanding of the archaeology of urban archives. Multi-proxy studies at a high spatial resolution offer especially an opportunity to capture their high data potential. Here we present a study of complex floor layers from an occupation phase dating to c. AD 790-830 uncovered in the Viking-age emporium Ribe, Denmark (c. AD 700-900). In order to better understand stratigraphy and the us…
Harassment, assault, bullying and intimidation (Habi) in archaeology
Awareness of, and debate about, harassment, assault, bullying and intimidation (HABI) in archaeology has grown in recent years, but the issue remains under-researched. Here, the authors present the first Europe-wide survey to evaluate HABI in archaeological environments, from field to laboratory and classroom. The survey covers 18 forms of HABI, collecting more than 1000 responses from archaeologists of 49 nationalities. A total of 82 per cent of…

A Biographical Approach to Urban Communities from a Geoarchaeological Perspective
This paper presents an overview of methodological and theoretical advances in the geoarchaeological study of towns in north-west Europe, c. ad 750-1450. The interpretations based on these new results are anchored within a theoretical framework of ‘Biographies of Place’. This framework offers a strong fit with geoarchaeological methods, and through five themes related to urbanism this paper shows a perspective that bridges geoarchaeology and histo…
Single Context, Metacontext, and High Definition Archaeology
An integrated micromorphological and phytolith study of urban soils and sediments from the Gallo‐Roman town Atuatuca Tungrorum, Belgium
Tongeren is the only Roman administrative capital within the borders of present‐day Belgium. It developed in the first century A.D. and became an important civitas . Many excavations in the center of town have uncovered complex stratigraphic sequences, including dark earths, dating to Roman as well as early medieval times. Their interpretation, based on traditional archaeological methods, often remains problematic. A large‐scale excavation at Ver…
Urban geoarchaeology in Belgium
Geoarchaeological research in urban contexts is a relatively recent development in Belgian geoarchaeology, with pioneering studies dating back to the 1990s. In the beginning of the 21st century, a specific research protocol was developed in Brussels, and in the last years, there have been several attempts to apply a similar approach to urban contexts in Flanders and occasionally in Wallonia. Current debates in urban geoarchaeology mainly focus on…

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…
