Provenance of clay used in Garamantian ceramics from Jarma, Fazzan region (south-west Libya): A combined geochemical and microfossil analysis
Microfossil-determined provenance of clay building materials at Burrough Hill Iron Age hill fort, Leicestershire, England
Provenance and proximity: A technological analysis of Late and Final Neolithic ceramics from Euripides Cave, Salamis, Greece
Temporal Patterns in Ceramic Production in the Berbati Valley, Greece
This research explores temporal patterns in the procurement of raw materials for ceramic production, based mainly on material recovered in regional survey. The underlying premise is that potters indifferent cultural phases will preferentially exploit the same geological landscape for the most suitable raw materials, but different materials may be preferred depending upon the potters' technological traditions. A program of petrographic and chemica…
Geophysical Investigations at Palaikastro
Since 1902 archaeological investigations at Palaikastro in eastern Crete have sought evidence for two architectural structures: a palace located amongst the substantial remains of Minoan settlement and the temple and sanctuary of Zeus Diktaios referred to by Strabo. In 2001 a geophysical survey was conducted in the Roussolakkos valley to the south-east of the excavated Minoan remains. Previous studies had recorded this as an archaeological ‘nil’ …
Food for the Living: A Reassessment of a Bronze Age Barrow at Buckskin, Basingstoke, Hampshire
The analysis of Bronze Age barrow sites excavated as long ago as 25 years can provide information on more significant and wide ranging topics than basic funerary rites. At Buckskin no primary burial rite was recorded nor any high status artefacts found. The analysis, of stored soil samples and animal bones however, produced evidence for ceremonial activity and feasting prior to the construction of the barrow mound. This encourages discussion on b…
Central Places and Major Roads in the Peloponnese
The technique of Graph Theory is described and applied to the ancient road system of the Peloponnese, using the network described in the Peutinger Table, and compared with George Gennadius' map of 1822. The result demonstrates the relative importance of centres in the Peloponnese during the Roman period, and the modification to the pattern of road usage resulting from sea communications. Details of a computer programme for the necessary calculati…
The Characterisation of Argillaceous Inclusions in Ceramic Thin Sections
Using descriptive methods derived from soil micromorphology, argillaceous inclusions (argillaceous rock fragments, grog, clay pellets and clay temper) can be characterised by the study of boundaries, roundness, shape, optical density, internal and external features, constituents and colour. Examination of the argillaceous inclusions in Corinthian A and A’ transport amphorae, through the description of their properties, permits the conclusion that…
Punic Amphoras Found at Corinth, Greece: An Investigation of Their Origin and Technology
Corinth Excavations, American School of Classical Studies at Athens Among the large deposit of amphoras of the 5th century B.C. found in a recently excavated building at ancient Corinth, Greece, were many of Punic type, which the excavator associated with the remains in the same building of filleted fish. These amphoras were of rather uniform shape, and yet they exhibited a wide range of colors and textures. The present paper, beginning with a de…
Hellenistic and Roman Buildings in the Mediaeval Walls of Mytilene
D UE TO THE CONTINUOUS OCCUPATION of the town site, ancient Mytilene for the most part lies buried under modern structures. Many Greek and Roman buildings, however, can still be recognized from elements reused in more recent construction. The late mediaeval fortification walls of the Genoese castle on the acropolis constitute a prime source of such material. At the invitation of the Town Council of Mytilene (Lesbos) the Canadian Archaeological In…
