Investigating the origins of carnelian beads from Tha Kae and Noen Din, Central Thailand
Sourcing carnelian beads from the ancient Mesopotamian site of Kish, Iraq, 2450–2200 BCE: Stylistic, technological and geochemical approaches
Trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Civilization is studied through the analysis of Early Dynastic III Period (2600–2350 BCE) carnelian beads from the site of Kish, Iraq. Morphological and technological features of the beads are compared with beads from the Indus region. The chemical composition of the carnelian is assessed using laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry and compared with an extensive database of potential g…
Tracing the origins of Carnelian ornaments in Northeast Africa: Morphological, technological and chemical compositional analyses of beads from medieval and post-medieval upper Nubia, Sudan
Morphological, technological and chemical compositional analyses of carnelian beads and raw materials from two sites in ancient Sudan are presented. Six carnelian beads are from Banganarti, a Christian pilgrimage center of the Makuria Kingdom (9th -14th centuries) and 18 beads and two carnelian flake fragments are from Old Dongola, capital of the Kingdom of Dongola (14th-18th centuries). Bead shapes show considerable variation, but bead perforati…
Carnelian beads from Manda, Unguja Ukuu and Kwa Mgogo: New insights on the stone bead trade between South Asia and East Africa, 7th to 15th Century CE
Prehistoric Stone Ornaments from Phromtin Tai, Central Thailand: New Perspectives on Workshop Traditions through the Study of Drilling Methods
The multi-component site of Phromtin Tai, Thailand is notable for its long occupation from the Late Bronze Age (ca. 700-500 b.c.e.) through early historic periods (ca. c.e. 500-900). Multiple field seasons of excavation in burial and habitation areas at the site have recovered a large number of glass and stone beads. Here we present the study of 57 stone beads from the site using qualitative and quantitative methods that demonstrate the presence …
