Multi-analytical procedure for radiocarbon dating of Pozzolana mortars from public buildings in Pompeii
Roman mortars were typically composed of an air-hardening lime mixed with materials exhibiting pozzolanic behaviour (e.g., pozzolana or cocciopesto), which conferred hydraulic properties to the material. So far, many characterizations of pozzolanic mortars have been carried out, revealing their complexity. The feasibility of radiocarbon dating for such mortars remains debated, with published data even suggesting that it may not be a viable method…
Destructuring a shield to rebuild the history
A painted wooden shield from the 16th century, commonly traced back to the famous Lepanto Battle (1571), was investigated by a multi‐analytical approach to identify its manufacturing process and shed light on its cultural provenance. The typology is coherent with both the Christian and Ottoman armies and does not allow for an attribution. Radiocarbon dated the shield to two time intervals (1470–1525, 1580–1625, at 68% level of probability), compa…
An integrated archaeological and anthropological approach to investigating human sacrifice among Etruscans
Characterization and Selection of Mortar Samples for Radiocarbon Dating in the Framework of the Modis2 Intercomparison
For several decades, many efforts have been dedicated to enhancing the accuracy of mortar radiocarbon dating and evaluating the reliability of the results concerning the typology of the examined specimens. Several assumptions that are fundamental for the application of the method may be in many cases not fulfilled, such as (a) complete primary limestone dissociation during calcination, (b) efficient separation of geogenic carbon contained in calc…
Radiocarbon Dating of Straw Fragments in the Plasters of St. Philip Church in Archaeological Site Hierapolis of Phrygia (Denizli, Turkey)
Absolute dating of plasters and mortars clearly represents a key information to study important structures and buildings that may have undergone a difficult story starting from their construction. This is for instance the case of the architectures in the archaeological site of Hierapolis (Denizli, Turkey). However, when discussing about the possibility to apply radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating, in this site the presence of different sources of contamin…
Paleogenetic analysis and radiocarbon dating on skeletal remains from the Roman necropolis of Contrada Diana (Lipari Island, Sicily)
Direct Radiocarbon Dating of Charcoal-Based Ink in Papyri
When dating documents by radiocarbon ( 14 C), what we typically measure is the concentration of the support (e.g. paper, parchment, or papyrus). This can however lead to a possible misinterpretation of results because the support may be older than the writing itself. To minimize such a possible ambiguity, the ideal approach would be direct dating of the ink or color (if organic). Here we propose a feasibility study to date carbon-based black inks…
