Wood identification of some coffins from the Necropolis of Thebes held in the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Florence
Plant remains in an Etruscan-Roman well at Cetamura del Chianti, Italy
Wooden tools and fire technology in the early Neanderthal site of Poggetti Vecchi (Italy)
Significance Wood is a widely available and versatile material, which has admittedly played a fundamental role in all human history. Wood, however, is most vulnerable to decomposition. Hence, its use is very rarely documented during prehistory. The present study yields new insights into the cognitive abilities of the early Neanderthals in wooden tool production and pyrotechnology. The early Neanderthals from the late Middle Pleistocene site of Po…
Paleoenvironmental context of the early Neanderthals of Poggetti Vecchi for the late middle Pleistocene of Central Italy
Work on thermal pools at Poggetti Vecchi in Grosseto, Italy, exposed an up to 3-meter-thick succession of seven sedimentary units. Unit 2 in the lower portion of the succession contained vertebrate bones, mostly of the straight-tusked elephant, Palaeoloxodon antiquus , commingled with stone, bone, and wooden tools. Thermal carbonates overlying Unit 2 are radiometrically dated to the latter part of the middle Pleistocene. This time span indicates …
Identification of wood from Roman ships found in the docking site of Pisa (Italy)
Wood identification of the headrests from the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Florence
Reasoned use of chemical parameters for the diagnostic evaluation of the state of preservation of waterlogged archaeological wood
How an integrated diagnostic approach can help in a correct evaluation of the state of preservation of waterlogged archaeological wooden artefacts
New trials in the consolidation of waterlogged archaeological wood with different acetone-carried products
Interpretative scenarios emerging from plant micro- and macroremains in the Iron Age site of Salut, Sultanate of Oman
The prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement of Stagno (Leghorn, Italy): Wood and food resource exploitation
Evaluation of the Applicability of Conventional Methods for the Chemical Characterization of Waterlogged Archaeological Wood
A series of 112 waterlogged archaeological wood samples of different provenances, wood species, burial times and states of preservation were analysed with the aim of assessing the validity (in terms of limits and reliability) of procedures conventionally used in the pulp and paper industry, to evaluate the state of preservation of decayed wood. In particular, the extent of any damage wrought on decayed wood tissue by the repetitive cycles that ch…

An Etruscan ointment from Chiusi (Tuscany, Italy): Its chemical characterization
The painting of the Etruscan “Tomba della Quadriga Infernale” (4th century BC), in Sarteano (Siena, Italy): Technical features
A Multi‐analytical Approach for the Characterization of Commodities in a Ceramic Jar From Antinoe (Egypt)
This paper describes a multi‐analytical chemical study performed on the original, almost totally conserved, content of a small ceramic jar from the Antinoe archaeological site (fifth to seventh centuries ad, Roman Egypt) and now belonging to the archaeological collection of the Istituto Papirologico ‘Girolamo Vitelli’ (Florence, Italy). Scanning electron microscopy with an energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometer (SEM–EDX), Fourier transformed infrar…
The Characterization of Waterlogged Archaeological Wood: The Three Roman Ships Found in Naples (Italy)
Three apparently well‐preserved shipwrecks dating back to Roman times were brought to light near Piazza Municipio in Naples (Italy), during the excavation for the construction of Line 1 of the subway. The shipwrecks were covered by marine sand and silt, below the water table. In order to establish the nature and the extent of wood degradation and, therefore, determine how best to preserve the shipwrecks, a diagnostic investigation was carried out…
A new Palaeolithic discovery: Tar-hafted stone tools in a European Mid-Pleistocene bone-bearing bed
The Characterization of Paints and Waterproofing Materials From the Shipwrecks Found at the Archaeological Site of the Etruscan and Roman Harbour of Pisa (Italy)
This work presents the results of a diagnostic survey on the shipwrecks from the archaeological site of the ancient harbour of San Rossore (Pisa, Italy). The original waterproofing, caulking and painting materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC–MS), energy‐dispersive X‐ray microanalysis (EDX) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The major constituents of the waterproofing a…
