Rewriting Archaeological Narratives
The current ubiquitous use of 3D recording technologies in archaeological fieldwork, for a large part due to the application of budget-friendly (drone) sensors and the availability of many low-cost image-based 3D modelling software packages, has exponentially increased the amount of 3D data of archaeological sites and landscapes. Various applications have advanced far beyond the experimental phase, such as the deployment of 3D surface recording f…
On the Use of White Marbles in Roman Forum Sempronii (Fossombrone, Marche, Italy)
This paper presents the results of the characterisation, identification, provenance determination, and quantification of the white, greco scritto-like and polychrome marbles used for architectural purposes at Forum Sempronii, a Roman town in the Marche region of Italy. Samples of five fragments of white marble and one fragment of a greco scritto-like marble have been studied using mineralogical and petrographic observations and stable isotope rat…
Pathways to Reframing the Roman Economy
Provenance of the white and polychrome marbles used for the architecture and sculpture of roman Sentinum (Sassoferrato, Marche, Italy)
Samples from 22 white crystalline and one greco scritto ‐like marble artefacts (first–third centuries ce ) from Roman Sentinum (Sassoferrato, Italy) were analysed to determine their provenance by thin‐section microscopy, X‐ray diffraction and stable isotope ratio analysis ( δ 18 O and δ 13 C). Polychrome marbles were provenanced through macroscopic examination. Results show that relief sculpture and statuary were carved in white marble from Carra…
Two Odd Ones Out
Marble trade in the Roman Mediterranean
Marble provenance studies in archaeology have become increasingly popular in recent decades. This has resulted in a large quantity of analytical data becoming available for archaeological marbles. This article presents the results of a quantitative study of the distribution of white marble in the Mediterranean based on an analysis of the available provenance data for the Roman period. The study shows increased distribution of white marble between…

The Impact of Spatial Sampling and Migration on the Interpretation of Complex Archaeological Ground‐penetrating Radar Data
In this paper, the impact of spatial sample density and three‐dimensional migration processing on the interpretation of archaeological ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) data is assessed. First, the question of how to determine the sample interval required to take full advantage of the spatial resolution capabilities of GPR without oversampling is addressed. To this end, we transform a test profile into the frequency–wavenumber ( f–k ) domain and est…
Reflexiones sobre el uso de mármol en Lusitania central en época romana
El presente trabajo presenta los resultados de una valorización cuantitativa y cualitativa de la utilización de las piedras decorativas arquitectónicas importadas de la ciudad romana lusitana de Ammaia (São Salvador da Aramenha, Portugal). Todas las piedras decorativas estudiadas fueron contadas, pesadas, clasificadas y su procedencia fue determinada. En la época romana se utilizaron seis tipos de piedra para la decoración arquitectónica de la ci…
Roman marble from Lusitania
White, Veined Marble From Roman Ammaia (Portugal)
A multimethod approach using petrography and strontium (Sr) isotopic analysis was applied to determine the geological source of 17 marble artefacts from the Roman town of Ammaia (Portugal). All samples are calcitic, with dolomite, quartz and muscovite as accessory minerals. The marbles are characteristically medium‐grained with a maximum grain size (MGS) between 0.98 mm and 1.82 mm, have a heteroblastic texture, and have curved to embayed calcite…
Computer Vision‐based Orthophoto Mapping of Complex Archaeological Sites
Ancient quarries are intriguing archaeological sites, but their detailed recording is complex. This paper presents a cost‐effective approach to mapping of the Roman quarry site of Pitaranha (Portugal–Spain). First, aerial photographs were acquired using a radio‐controlled digital reflex camera attached to a Helikite, which allowed the acquisition of the necessary low‐altitude aerial footage in the very unstable wind conditions above the quarry. U…
