Stratigraphic and tectonic architecture of the Middle Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous at the southern front of the Central High Atlas (Morocco)
The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)-Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) deposits exposed at the southern front of the Central High Atlas (CHA, Southern Morocco) include thick fluvial successions largely undifferentiated in previous studies. These continental strata record a long period of relief formation due to crustal shortening and subsequent denudation that predated the Cenozoic, syn-collisional, tectonic inversion of the CHA. This study, carried ou…

Archaeometric Provenance Constraints for Early Medieval Sparse Glazed Pottery from Donoratico (Livorno, Italy)
The study of a huge repertory of sparse glazed ware from Donoratico (Livorno, Italy) dated back to the ninth century was carried out to investigate the production technology via petrographic, chemical, and isotopic investigations. The mineralogical and chemical evidence suggested the application of a lead oxide flux to an unfired non‐calcareous ceramic body, in accordance with late Antique and early‐Medieval traditions. The isotopic investigation…
Copper metallurgy in ancient Etruria (southern Tuscany, Italy) at the Bronze-Iron Age transition
Experimental smelting of iron ores from Elba Island (Tuscany, Italy)
Early Renaissance Production Recipes for Naples Yellow Pigment
The Naples Yellow pigment was apparently used for the first time by the Egyptians, as a glass-colouring agent. Also known in the Mesopotamian and Roman cultures, the recipe was lost in Western Europe between the fourth and the 16th centuries ad. The recipe for the production of lead antimonate recently discovered in the ‘Codice Calabranci’ (second half of the 15th century) at Montelupo, a small town near Florence (Italy) known for its large-scale…
The Evolution of Pre‐Islamic S outh A rabian Coinage
The present paper deals with compositional and microstructural features of 26 pre‐Islamic, S outh A rabian coins recently unearthed during archaeological excavations. Most of the investigated coins come from S umhuram ( K hor R ori, southern O man), and were minted by the H adramawt kingdom (fourth century bc to third century ad ); only a few of them belong to the H imyarite kingdom's coinage (first to fourth centuries ad ). In addition, some coi…
The Tungsten and Tin Signature of Iron Ores From Elba Island (Italy)
The mineralogy, petrography and major‐ and trace‐element composition of iron ores from Elba Island (Tuscany, Italy), one of the most important iron sources in the Mediterranean area since the first millennium bc , revealed that hematite‐rich ores display prominent enrichments in W and Sn (up to 4950 μg g −1 and 8400 μg g −1 , respectively). These two elements are hosted by tiny grains of W–Sn mineral phases (ferberite, scheelite and cassiterite) …
Copper production at Baratti (Populonia, southern Tuscany) in the early Etruscan period (9th–8th centuries BC)
Radiocarbon Reveals the Age of Two Precious Tombs in the Etruscan Site of Populonia-Baratti (Tuscany)
The archaeological site of Populonia-Baratti, in the southern part of Tuscany (Italy), was one of the most important centers in ancient Etruria, as seen in the evidence of metallurgical activities carried out at that time. During recent archaeological excavations (2005) in the ancient industrial area of Populonia, along the Baratti beach, 2 interesting tombs were found. The 2 graves were unusually located in an area dedicated to metallurgical act…
Late-Holocene catastrophic floods in the terminal Arno River (Pisa, Central Italy) from the story of a Roman riverine harbour
The results of the stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis carried out at an exceptional archaeological site situated in the coastal plain of the Arno and Serchio Rivers (western Tuscany, Italy) are reported. The site, discovered near central Pisa, records a 1000-yr history of a riverine harbour built by the Etruscans and used by the Romans. This harbour was adjacent to the Arno River, located within an abandoned channel then still connected …
