A Fifth-century Purse Assemblage with Coins and Hackbronze from Oudenburg Reconsidered
When base metal coinage ceased arriving in the north-western Roman Provinces c. a.d . 400, no new currency was introduced. For their everyday exchanges, people may have turned to different practices, or materials, in cases where the still-circulating coins were perhaps not fulfilling demand. This paper examines an early fifth-century burial from the coastal fort at Oudenburg, Belgium. Among the male adornment in burial A-104, the purse assemblage…
Fuelling the Roman salt industry. Developing a new multiproxy approach to identify peat fuel from archaeological combustion residue
Is Archaeological Practice Obscuring our Understanding of the Late Roman Fifth Century
The fifth century in Northern Gaul is traditionally characterised by barbarian invasions, conflict, abandonment, and large migrations. However, there is little material evidence that can inform us on the identity, origin, and activities of local communities. This paper addresses the role of archaeological practice in obscuring the Late Roman fifth century. First, the state of research for the Late Roman period in the region of Flanders (Belgium) …
Changes in the body, glaze and enamel compositions of early Meissen porcelain, 1723– c .1740
The evolution of early Meissen body, glaze and colorant compositions is examined using X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) measurements on three artefacts that can be accurately dated to the period 1723– c .1740. The results are interpreted based on recipes recorded in the earliest documents of the Meissen archives. The pure Aue kaolinite contains low levels of Ti and can be distinguished from secondary clays, for example, clay from Colditz. Th…
