Northern exposure
This study re-examines the personal adornment assemblage from the Bela Vista tholos (Sintra, Portugal), highlighting the rediscovery of a long-lost amber bead and clarifying the chronology and provenance of associated artifacts. The bead has been identified as Baltic amber through the use of FTIR spectroscopy. This material is known to be exceptionally rare in Iberian contexts prior to the Bronze Age. Complementary analyses (MACLAS and VORTEX) li…
A forest of green beads
This study addresses critical gaps in the provenance analysis of variscite and related green phosphate minerals, which serve as key tracers of prehistoric socio-economic networks in Late Prehistoric Europe (c. 6000–1200 BC). Despite their significance, existing provenance models are limited by small, unrepresentative datasets, outdated data processing techniques, and a lack of robust validation metrics. These limitations hinder the accurate recon…
Amber provenance as a Chrono-Cultural Proxy
In recent years, significant advancements have occurred in our comprehension of amber consumption patterns in the Iberian Peninsula. This progress stems from the increasing volume of FTIR data related to both archaeological and geological amber. Consequently, a chronological model has been established, delineating amber consumption in the Iberian Peninsula from the Late Paleolithic to the Iron Age. Broadly, local amber consumption has been minima…
Crafting illusions
The discovery of a set of beads, comprising both Sicilian amber and resin-coated beads in the Middle Bronze Age burial site of Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona, Spain), has sparked inquiries into whether the coating was intended for imitation or counterfeiting of amber. We assert that human-made materials, such as bead coatings, are intentionally conceived, designed, and crafted to fulfill specific functions. Thus, for an object to effectively …
Unlocking archaeological data online via the Pepadb (Prehistoric Europe's Personal Adornment Database) initiative for Open Science
PEPAdb (Prehistoric Europe's Personal Adornment Database) is a long-term, open-ended project that aims to improve access to archaeological data online. Its website ( https://pepadb.us.es ) publishes and analyses datasets about prehistoric personal adornment, drawing on the results of various research projects and bibliographic references
