Reflections into Ptolemaic Glass, III
The production techniques used in creating Ptolemaic glass inlays have fascinated researchers for decades, yet a comprehensive understanding remains elusive due to limited contextual data from well-excavated secondary workshops. This paper presents an in-depth investigation into glass forming, glass colouring, and furnace conditions, drawing on extensive archaeological research and chemical analyses of materials unearthed at the site of Tebtunis …
The Chinese identity of St Mark's bronze 'Lion' and its place in the history of medieval Venice
There are no known written records pertaining to the origins of the enigmatic bronze 'Lion' that stands atop one of the two large columns of the Piazzetta in St Mark's Square, Venice (Italy). Representing the Venetian Winged Lion, a powerful symbol of statehood, the sculpture was installed during a time of political uncertainty in medieval Mediterranean Europe, yet its features do not reflect local artistic conventions. Here, the authors argue th…
Reflections into Ptolemaic Glass II
A systematic and extensive analytical study was carried out on the loose inlays discovered in the Ptolemaic workshop of Tebtynis (Fayum oasis, Egypt). This paper presents data derived from the multi‐methodological archaeometric investigations (optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy–energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis, micro‐Raman spectroscopy) performed on a set of intentionally colored and opacified glasses. In…
Reflections into Ptolemaic glass
Inlays range among the most aesthetically pleasing and technically challenging glasses produced in the Ptolemaic period. Despite the central role of this phase in the history of glass technology, little is known about the recipes and the technological knowledge of the Egyptian artisans. This paper will thus focus on the study of the materials from the secondary workshop of Tebtynis (Fayum oasis, Egypt). We report the first multi‐methodological st…
Mineralogical interpretation of multispectral images
LIA of Prehistoric Metals in the Central Mediterranean Area
Following animated discussions in the 1990–2010 period concerning the validity and potential application of Pb isotope data to yield information on ancient metallurgy, recently lead isotope analysis has been extensively applied with alternate success and difficulty to the early stages of copper/lead/silver/tin metal flow in the Central Mediterranean area, arbitrarily defined as including Italy, the Mediterranean Islands, and the surrounding regio…
Obsidian and Obsidian-like Glass Tesserae
Pliny the Elder testifies that roman workshops used volcanic glass (obsidian), but also produced and used a dark glass (obsidian-like glass) quite similar to the natural one. In the context of the study on medieval mosaics, the use of the obsidian and obsidian-like tesserae is a challenging research topic. In this paper, we present the results of a multidisciplinary study carried out on the Dedication wall mosaic, realized by a byzantine workshop…
The Bronze age amber industry in northern Italy in light of high-resolution 3D imaging
We summarize here the preliminary results of the experimental application of high-resolution 3D imaging to the study and reconstruction of the chaîne opératoire of amber bead-making in the northern Italian peninsula in the 2nd millennium BC. Amber, an unusually soft raw material that is highly sensible to any kind of physical and chemical change, records a spectrum of archaeological information that was almost unimaginable until recently. We show…
Moving metals IV
European Bronze Age swords had high functional and symbolic value, and therefore they are an interesting case for approaching questions of provenance and trade in Bronze Age Europe. It is often assumed that there is a strong affinity between metal supplies and artefact type. However, this study demonstrates that metal supply and sword types are mostly unrelated. In this paper we present a comparative provenance study of 118 Bronze Age swords, whi…

Metal flow in the late Bronze Age across the Friuli-Venezia Giulia plain (Italy)
The pigments of the frigidarium in the Sarno Baths, Pompeii
Combining multispectral images with X-ray fluorescence to quantify the distribution of pigments in the frigidarium of the Sarno Baths, Pompeii
Current Research in Egyptology 2017
This publication is the result of a multidisciplinary research realized by an international team of scholars of the University of Padua, with the Museum of Archaeological Sciences and Arts (since now MSA), the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere e Arti” in Venice (since now IVSLA), the Trent University in Canada and the Museo Egizio in Turin. Its focus is the study of Carlo Anti’s life and activities in Egypt, especially related to the reconstruc…
Moving metals III
Average and core silver content of ancient-debased coins via neutron diffraction and specific gravity
Morphological reconstruction of Roman styli from Iulia Concordia-Italy
NEARCHOS. Networked Archaeological Open Science
The full release and circulation of excavation results often takes decades, thus slowing down progress in archaeology to a degree not in keeping with other scientific fields. The nonconformity of released data for digital processing also requires vast and costly data input and adaptation. Archaeology should face the cognitive challenges posed by digital environments, changing in scope and rhythm. We advocate the adoption of a synergy between reco…
Micromorphologies of amber beads
Eine Reihe bronzezeitlicher Bernsteinperlen von zwei unterschiedlichen norditalienischen Fundplätzen wurde mit optischer und opto-digitaler Mikroskopie für hochauflösende 3D-Bilder, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie sowie mittels extrem feiner Silikonabgüsse der Durchlochungen untersucht. Die Ausgüsse belegen die Verwendung eines glühenden Werkzeugs, das Spuren an den Innenwänden der Perforationen hinterließ, dies ungeachtet des Abriebs aufgrund der Ke…
Late Bronze Age copper smelting in the southeastern Alps
The use of different amber sources in Italy during the Bronze Age
A lead-isotope database of copper ores from the Southeastern Alps
Late Bronze Age Copper Smelting Slags from Luserna (Trentino, Italy)
In the Late Bronze Age, the extractive metallurgy of copper in north-eastern Italy achieved a peak of technological efficiency and mass production, as evidenced by the substantial number of metallurgical sites and the large volume of slags resulting from smelting activities. In order to define the technological features of the Late Bronze Age metallurgical process, more than 20 slags from the smelting site of Luserna (Trentino, Italy) were fully …
Eneolithic copper smelting slags in the Eastern Alps
Gambling With Etruscan Dice
The graphical and linguistic interpretation of the first six Etruscan numerals has long been confronted with the ambiguous assignment of the words huth and sa to either 4 or 6. Here, we show how the systematic combinatorial analysis of the numerals appearing on ancient southern Etrurian dice dated from the eighth to the third centuries bc , together with the careful comparison of the results with the only two existing dice carrying the alphabetic…

Archaeological Ambers From Northern Italy
European geological ambers of five different localities and types, and Italian geological ambers from seven different deposits have been studied with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and diffuse‐reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT). Ambers from several localities have been characterized for the first time. The research aims to create a database of European ambers, containing both FTIR and DRIFT data. The FTIR spectra are e…

The Blue Enamels in the Baroque Decorations of the Churches of Palermo, Sicily
Deep blue glasses coloured by octahedral Fe 2+ cations are often reported as textbook examples of blue pigmentation. However, despite the possibility of laboratory synthesis under reducing conditions, to date there are no well‐reported occurrences of their production and use in the past. A thorough historical, ethnographic, mineralogical, and chemico‐physical investigation of the ‘ smaltini di calcara ’ from several baroque churches in Palermo, S…
