Using pXRF spectrometry for brick characterization and sourcing at Boone Hall Plantation
Geochemical characterization of Jordanian basalts using portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and sourcing of the Amman Theater Statue
Printing the Past
This article describes and evaluates a 3-D scanned and printed exhibit created by students and faculty in collaboration with a local museum to increase accessibility to archaeological and historical collections for audiences with visual disabilities, neurodivergence, and sensory processing differences. 3-D technologies allowed for the creation of a hands-on exhibit, accompanied by a variety of accessible solutions, such as audio, video, and brail…
Geochemical analysis of colonoware and brick artifacts from Brook Green Plantation using portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry
This study used data collected using a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer to examine ceramic artifacts found during the excavation of historic Brook Green Plantation, in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Excavations at this site yielded culturally significant artifacts associated with African and African American people held in bondage during the 19th century. The geochemical composition of Colonoware and brick artifacts was compared to cl…
Preliminary investigations into the source of brick clay, Brookgreen Plantation, Georgetown County, South Carolina
Brookgreen Gardens, Georgetown County, South Carolina, includes the remains of Brookgreen Plantation and other historic rice plantations. The property contains archeological resources associated with enslaved African, African-American, and Native American people. Visitors are told that the piers and chimneys of the homes of the enslaved were made of local brick, from clay dug, processed, and fired on-site. The clay mining allegedly formed the pon…
Heat treatment of Pennsylvania jasper
Heat treatment of silicate toolstone was performed prehistorically, which we assume was to improve characteristics desired in flintknapping, such as increased brittleness and more predictable and controlled conchoidal fracture. However, despite research into heat treatment spanning 50 years, the mechanisms by which stone was improved, and the reasons why people did it, remain unclear. In this study, experiments were designed to test two potential…

The Effects of Weathering on the Geochemical Characterization of Southeastern U.S. Rhyolites
This study presents an experimental analysis of the effect of weathering on the elemental characterization of artifacts made from rhyolite and metarhyolite originating within the Carolina Slate Belt of central North Carolina. A comparison of the results of portable x-ray fluorescence analyses of weathered and unweathered surfaces revealed no statistical difference between the compositional data for most of the selected elements. As a result, char…
Transport and Subsistence Patterns at the Transition to Pastoralism, Koobi Fora, Kenya
The Turkana Basin in Kenya has an extensive record of Holocene activities relating to mobility and economy of foraging and herding communities. Obsidian is only known from a few key localities in northern Kenya. As such, the use of obsidian as a toolstone material, commonly used during the mid‐Holocene, provides one way to trace exchange, interaction and population movements during the transition to pastoralism. We employ X‐ray fluorescence to ch…

Blue Vivianite in Prehistoric Clay
Experiments have demonstrated that vivianite, when processed using heat, produces a vivid blue pigment that could have been used as body paint, yet this vivid blue pigment could have been utilized in other ways as well. Archaeologically, vivianite has been documented as a component of clay pottery, but this vivianite was part of the clay matrix, not applied to the surface of the vessel. Experiments designed to assess the utility of vivianite as a…
