On the Red and Yellow Pigments of Post‐Byzantine Greek Icons
Red and yellow pigments on more than 50 panel paintings were investigated. The studied artefacts dated from the mid‐15th to the mid‐19th centuries and came from regions in modern‐day Greece. Cinnabar and yellow ochres predominated. Ιn the case of the region of north‐west Greece there was a persistent use of orpiment and the employment of a peculiar ochre‐type pigment, while the rare lead‐antimony‐tin yellow was identified in an early 18th‐century…
Early Cypriot Prehistory: On the Traces of the Last Hunters and Gatherers on the Island-Preliminary Results of Luminescence Dating
Archaeological investigations at the Late Epipaleolithic/Pre-Neolithic campsite of Roudias, Cyprus, have revealed that this location was repeatedly visited by hunter-gatherer groups during the beginning of the Holocene. Despite the placement of the deeper lithic assemblages of the site within the Late Epipaleolithic tradition, the main obstacle of the site has been its lack of absolute ages. Previous attempts to date bone samples recovered from t…
On the blue and green pigments of post‐Byzantine Greek icons
In the framework of a large‐scale investigation of post‐1453 ce icons, the blue and green pigments on more than 50 works were investigated. Studied works date from the mid‐15th to the mid‐19th centuries and originate from various modern‐day Greek regions. Results indicate the use of both natural and artificial pigments; among the latter, the very poorly documented in Greek icons artificial Cu‐based blue is included. A shift as regards the use of …

On the Metal‐Leaf Decorations of Post‐Byzantine Greek Icons
Metal leaves were widely used as decorative materials in post‐Byzantine ritual painting. Fifty‐two icons (mid‐15th to mid‐19th centuries) were studied by means of analytical techniques in order to reveal the materials and techniques encountered in their metal‐leaf decorations. High‐purity gold leaf was used throughout the studied period. Silver was employed rarely and mostly during the latter part of the period in consideration, while metal powde…

Tripod cauldrons produced at Olympia give evidence for trade with copper from Faynan (Jordan) to South West Greece, c. 950–750 BCE
Polykmetos Sideros: À propos du fer en Grèce Antique
La recherche sur la Grèce ancienne s’est peu préoccupée de l’artisanat du fer et de ses procédés de production. Même si plusieurs études pionnières ont été réalisées, aussi bien sur les textes que sur des données archéologiques limitées, tout reste pratiquement à faire. Si les objets en fer apparaissent dans l’Égée dès le II e millénaire, les débuts de la métallurgie du fer posent de nombreuses questions, tant pour leur date que pour les conditio…
On The Grounds Of Post‐Byzantine Greek Icons
The grounds of 51 post‐Byzantine icons (Eastern Orthodox panel paintings) were studied by means of analytical techniques. The artefacts cover the period from the mid‐15th to the mid‐19th century and originate mainly from western (Epirus and the Ionian Islands) and southern Greece (Crete). The findings are examined in the light of technical recipes from related areas and eras, while special insights are gained from the exploration of a gypsum proc…
Copper metallurgy of the Early Bronze Age in Thassos, north Aegean
Exploring Paleogeographic Conditions at Two P aleolithic Sites in N avarino, Southwest G reece, Dated by Optically Stimulated Luminescence
In this paper, we employed optically stimulated luminescence ( OSL ) dating of sediments from two archaeological sites located in N avarino, M essenia, southwestern G reece, to deduce a chronology for the archaeological sites. Archaeological surveys identified two P aleolithic sites on fossilized coastal dunes. Chipped stone tool assemblages were identified eroding out of paleosols developed in the dunes. The assemblage from one site lacked disti…

Seriphos Surfaces: A Study of Copper Slag Heaps and Copper Sources in the Context of Early Bronze Age Aegean Metal Production
Kephala and Phournoi, on the island of Seriphos, add to a growing number of EBA metal production sites identified in the south-central Aegean. Analytical examination of samples from the two sites addressed the technological parameters of the copper smelting process, indicating the use of mixed oxidic and sulphidic copper–iron ores to produce unalloyed copper with minute copper sulphide inclusions. A preliminary geological reconnaissance of the is…
De Caerimoniae ’ Technological Choices in Copper‐smelting Furnace Design at Early Bronze Age Chrysokamino, Crete
The excavation of a number of Early Bronze Age sites in the Aegean has recovered perforated ceramic fragments. Archaeometallurgical analysis of slag adhering to these fragments indicates that they are the remains of copper‐smelting furnaces. Despite compelling analytical data supporting this identification, no attempt has been made, thus far, to establish how these unusual furnaces may have operated. The use of perforations is poorly understood a…

Située à l'extrémité nord du Cap Corse, la Grotte de la Coscia fut, au Pléistocène moyen, une très vaste cavité creusée lors d'anciens hauts-niveaux marins dans les calcaires et dolomies de la série mésozoïque de Macinaggio. Son histoire géologique est très complexe. La grotte de la Coscia est, à l'heure actuelle, en partie effondrée et presque complètement colmatée (seule demeure pénétrable la partie nord-ouest, appelée «grotte nord-ouest») par …
