Differentiation of ceramic chemical element composition and vessel morphology at a pottery production center in Roman Galilee
Preferential Distribution of Lamps from the Jerusalem Area in the Late Second Temple Period (Late First Century B.C.E.-70 C.E.)
This is a systematic, regional, analytical study on the origins of the "Herodian" lamp, the most common lamp in late Second Temple—period Judaea. The project included 176 Herodian lamps from the northern sites of Gamala, Iotapata, Sepphoris, Dora, and Scythopolis, as well as several hundred examples of non-cooking ware of this period from the Galilee and Golan, and from Jerusalem and nearby sites. All samples were measured using both instrumental…
The Discovery of Anomalously High Silver Abundances in Pottery From Early Roman Excavation Contexts in Jerusalem
This is the first study on the differential distribution and concentrations of silver in ceramics recovered from archaeological excavations. The chemical compositions of 1174 pottery vessels from 38 Roman‐period sites in Israel have been determined. Unusually high and variable abundances of silver were discovered in pottery samples of all vessel types and chemical compositions from four distinct archaeological contexts dating to late first centur…
Determining Pottery Provenance: Application of a New High‐precision X‐ray Fluorescence Method and Comparison With Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis
A recently developed high‐precision X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) method, applied for the first time to the study of archaeological pottery, determines the abundances of 13 trace and four major elements from one X‐ray spectrum acquired over a 1000 second counting interval. For replicate archaeological samples, the short‐term and long‐term measurement precisions were close to 1% for the ten elements measured with highest precision. These are comparable…
The superior mineral content of some American Indian foods in comparison to federally donated counterpart commodities
In pre‐Columbian times, Indian diets were markedly different from patterns that have developed after forced introduction of refined modern foods. The nutritional outcomes of this change have been inferred but not documented. To this end, samples of traditional Hopi and Papago Indian foods and federal commodity foods donated in 1971–72 were analyzed for nitrogen and 15 other elements. Native foods produced in the Arizona reservation areas were con…
Saljūq, Faïence and Tīmūrid Earthenware from Tammīsha: Some Preliminary Technological Notes
Two Chemical Groups of Dichroic Glass Beads from West Africa
Certain blue glass beads from west African archaeological sites have been found by X-ray fluorescence analysis to fall into two chemical groups. Each group includes beads which exhibit blue/yellow dichroism' and/or cords.z Held in the hand, the dichroic examples appear blue, but against the light they appear greenish-yellow. One group of dichroic and corded beads appears to belong to the glass industry of Ife, and that relationship will be discus…
