Doubts on diffusion
Iron Age agate and carnelian beads found in Southeast Asia have long been assumed to be Indian imports, often featuring in diffusion-orientated theories of Southeast Asian state development that cite Indian influence as a major causal factor. The origin of these beads is tested here, through a pioneering non-destructive geochemical sourcing study of carnelian beads and potential source material. Our results suggest that many of these beads do not…
New evidence for specialised ceramic production and exchange in the southeast Arabian Iron Age
Results from a programme of PIXE‐PIGME analysis of Iron Age ceramics from southeastern Arabia are presented. Compositional analysis indicates the existence of two discrete Iron Age II ceramic assemblages. A combination of geological and archaeological evidence suggests that one of these was produced in the inland oasis of al‐Ain. Geological evidence in combination with previously published data on the elemental composition of southeast Iranian ce…
New Britain obsidian sources
The natural occurrence of obsidian in volcanic flows in West New Britain has been thoroughly investigated and new measurements of the composition of field samples have been made with a proton dose of 150 μC, increased by a factor of three compared to analyses reported in early studies. New data on precision and accuracy of PIXE‐PIGME show that measurement error is not a significant factor in interpretations of chemical variability among source an…
Elemental characterisation of Barbar ceramics from Tell Abraq
The early second millennium levels at Tell Abraq have yielded over 600 fragments of friable, red‐ridged pottery with exploding lime grits which is superficially indistinguishable from contemporary, so‐called ‘Barbar’pottery on Bahrain (1). The Bahraini origin of the Tell Abraq Barbar sherds has been demonstrated by means of proton‐induced x‐ray and gamma‐ray emission (PIXE/PIGME) analysis. In addition, the results of x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) of B…
