A multi‐analytical approach to understand El Alto‐Ancasti's painted pottery (north‐western Argentina)
Archaeometric analysis applied to the study of pre‐Hispanic pottery is a growing field in archaeological research in north‐western Argentina. Most of these investigations have focused on intra‐style variability, comparing samples from the same style but obtained in different sites throughout large regions. In this study, we propose to shift the approach and adopt a local micro‐scale perspective to deepen knowledge regarding pottery manufacturing.…
Surface Microanalysis and Sequential Chemical Extraction as Tools for Reliable Environmental Mobility Assessment of Sb and Other Metals
Sequential extraction procedures (SEPs) are widely used in environmental studies to infer the chemical and/or mineralogical forms of pollutants of concern in soils and sediments. Although there is no general agreement among the scientific community, these methods have shown some limitations, especially those with a lack of objectivity in their interpretation. In this work, a soil sampling campaign was carried out in an area affected by an abandon…
Mine Water for the Generation and Storage of Renewable Energy
Mine water is normally considered as waste that has to be managed. However, new applications are increasingly being sought for the water that floods mining voids, especially in relation to its use as an energy resource. The worldwide energy market, within the current transition framework, is searching for creative approaches to produce and store clean energy. In particular, underground pumped hydroelectric energy storage systems (UPHS) constitute…
Proliferación Nuclear de Corea del Norte
Este trabajo analiza y reflexiona sobre la tensión que sigue vigente en el proceso de proliferación y desarme nuclear de Corea del Norte. Luego de un momento de alta tensión en 2017 y una detonante en 2018, es necesario volver a explorar lo que sucede con el programa nuclear de los norcoreanos. Él mismo, no solo genera una problemática en la arquitectura nuclear global, sino que además, se ha transformado en una cuestión de balance de poder entre…
Las Vallinas (Teverga, Asturias). Una granja de la Edad del Hierro y época romana en el norte de la Península Ibérica
Los obstáculos para la prospección a lo largo del paisaje costero del Golfo de Vizcaya, las limitaciones estructurales y materiales de las unidades de asentamiento más pequeñas, y la falta de un control exhaustivo de las alteraciones actuales del terreno, han ocasionado un vacío en el conocimiento sobre la posible presencia de granjas o caseríos en espacios abiertos durante la Edad del Hierro en la región cantábrica. Presentamos por primera vez l…
Arsenic in Soils Affected by Mining
Soil samples from three inactive mines, corresponding to different Arsenic-bearing mineralization types, were collected and studied. The aim was to determine the influence of mine wastes mineralogy/geochemistry and texture in As mobility and to compare results from sequential chemical extraction and microscopic techniques (optical and electron) at a grain scale. Arsenic in soils is found mainly associated to the residual fraction, indicating that…
Los discos de oro del Museo Arqueológico de Asturias
We present a study of two gold discs of unknown origin that remain deposited since the mid-twentieth century in the Archaeological Museum of Asturias. There is abundant bibliography on these pieces, although, to date, these have not been archaeometric or archeometallurgical studies. The results allow deducing interesting observations on their composition, manufacture and the technological sequence of elaboration, as well as on the possible origin…
