The Late Bronze Egyptian Garrison at Beth Shan: Glass and Faience Production and Importation in the Late New Kingdom
Beth Shan, strategically located at the juncture of the Jordan and Jezreel Valleys where major trade routes intersected, was architecturally restructured in the 13th century B. C. E. as one of the most important late New Kingdom Egyptian bases in Palestine. The archaeological and technological evidence from the site provides a unique perspective on how a deliberate imperialistic policy can affect local ceramic traditions, including the pottery an…

The Beads from Tomb B10a B27 at Dinkha Tepe and the Beginnings of Glassmaking in the Ancient Near East
Among the rich finds from an early second millennium B.C. tomb at Dinkha Tepe in northwestern Iran was a collection of more than 140 beads, made of glass, frit, and semiprecious stones, which were probably worn as necklaces by the deceased. Fifty-eight of the beads were of glass and frit, and constitute one of the earliest, sizable groups of these man-made silicate materials ever found. The evident care that was taken in selecting and processing …
The Egyptian Mummy: Secrets and Science
History of mummification of humans and animals autopsy and x-ray radiography of mummies reveal physical effects of environment and custom upon the egyptians, the remains of parasites, traces of infectious diseases, accidents and diet. The book is written in conjunction with an exhibition -- ICCROM
Problems in the Study of the Anthropomorphic Metal Statuary From Syro-Palestine Before 330 b.c.
The study of small metal statuary from the Levant is notorious for the many uncertainties it involves. This arises not from any lack of examples (for their number and variety is remarkable in view of the relative rarity of such objects elsewhere in the ancient Near East), but from the scarcity of precise archaeological evidence for local styles and their development. If the figures from Byblos (about 1700) are excluded from the count, the majorit…

Perceptual Defensiveness and Death Anxiety
This study investigated the relationship between the extent of defensive responding on a perceptual recognition task and score on the Handal death anxiety scale. The results did not confirm the hypothesis that perceptually defensive respondents (those with elevated thresholds for death words as opposed to neutral words) would tend to have lower scores on the death anxiety inventory. Additional research into multilevel criteria of death anxiety is…

Thermoluminescent Authenticity Studies of Unglazed T‘ang Dynasty Ceramic Tomb Goods
S Imitations of T‘ang Dynasty ( a.d. 618–906) ceramics were produced at the beginning of this century casting them from original piece‐moulds. The impeccable style of these wares means they are indistinguishable from their ancient prototypes by visual inspection. Examples of such imitative material are revealed by thermoluminescent dating analysis. A brief discussion of the need for and methods of the piece‐moulding technique in its use by the T‘…
The Pre‐dose Technique: A New Thermo‐luminescent Dating Method
S A thermoluminescent (TL) glow‐curve peak occurs around 110°C for the mineral quartz. Its sensitivity may be changed by application of a radiation dose (termed the pre‐dose ) followed by a heating of the quartz to 500°C: heating alone causes no sensitivity change. The enhancement observed (measured relative to the sensitivity of the peak prior to heating) is a measure of the magnitude of the pre‐dose. For quartz extracted from pottery the sensit…
Thermoluminescence and Glaze Studies of a Group of T'ang Dynasty Ceramics
S The application of the recently developed thermoluminescent method of pre‐dose dating to thirty‐seven glazed ceramics, purporting to have been manufactured during the T'ang Dynasty in China ( a.d. 618–906), is reported. The modern origin of eight of these pieces is established. The remaining twenty‐nine authentic pieces are discussed with respect to the accuracy of dating possible for such wares. The criterion for authenticity judgement commonl…
The Subtraction Technique of Thermoluminescent Dating
S Combination of the routine approaches of thermoluminescence dating, the fine‐grain and inclusion methods, allows an age to be determined that is independent of knowledge of the environmental dose‐rate. This socalled subtraction technique is exampled by several terracottas of museum origin and some pottery collected from archaeological contexts without associated burial media. Age determination is estimated to have an accuracy of around ± 12%, i…
Thermoluminescent Authenticity Study and Dating of Renaissance Terracottas
S A comparative study is made of the thermoluminescence (TL) of terracottas of the Renaissance era and some known limitations of such ware dating to the middle of the last century. The data shows that conclusions on authenticity of an unknown work can be reliably obtained using this scientific method. Also examples are presented of accurate dating of genuine terracottas despite a lack of knowledge about the environmental circumstances of each pie…
The Authenticity of Figurines, Animals and Pottery Facsimiles of Bronzes in the Hui Hsien Style
S For some 15 years the authenticity of a group of small pottery pieces, claimed to have originated in the Hui Hsien area of China, has been the subject of academic discussion and some dissension. The thermolumines‐cent dating of 22 such pieces from 4 independent collections is reported following a review of archaeological evidence for the origin of the material and of scientific investigations that have previously been made in investigation of i…
Thermoluminescent Dating of Colombian Pottery in the Yotoco Style
S Two contexts from the Colombian sites, Yotoco Ferry and Moralba, had been linked by archaeological similarities in pottery style, and dated by association with ware from other sites at circa a.d. 1000. However, radiocarbon dating of those contexts set Moralba at circa 800 b.c. , some 2000 yr older than Yotoco Ferry. Thermoluminescent dating of pottery from Yotoco Ferry dated it at circa a.d. 900, and pottery from Moralba was dated at circa a.d.…
