From Plant Domestication to Phytolith Interpretation
Pioneered by such familiar names as Helbaek and van Ziest, paleoethnobotany in the Near East has come far since its early days. The enhanced recovery of botanical remains through flotation has replaced serendipitious finds as a regular source of data. Analysis has reached beyond seeds and fragments of wood to embrace the examination of microscopic pollen grains and silica skeletal fragments (phytoliths). Although initially narrow in focus and fra…
Analysis of Minute and Priceless Artifacts Using Scanning Electron Microscopy
Analyzing minute remains, delicate objects, or components of priceless artifacts is often difficult. An example of the difficulties encountered in analyzing these types of artifacts is seen in the wood analysis of a wooden writing tablet (diptych), recovered from a 14th century B.C. submerged shipwreck. Because only minute fragments of the diptych were available for analysis, we utilized a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain high resolut…
The Wood of the Ulu Burun Diptych
In the fall of 1988, Cemal Pulak, acting field director and assistant director of the Ulu Burun excavations, asked the authors to identify the wood used in the diptych found on the fourteenth- or very early thirteenth-century Ulu Burun shipwreck. Although it has been stated generally that Greco-Roman writing tablets were made of boxwood, other woods were also used for writing tablets in various periods of antiquity. The second oldest known writin…
