  • Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Rock Art Paintings in Southern Illinois

    Sierra M Bow, Jan F Simek et al.•ARTICLE•Midcontinental Journal of…•2025•References: 30

    Illinois contains a rich tradition of American Indian rock art dating to the precontact Mississippian and postcontact periods (AD 1000–1835). One long-standing question about this art involves the nature of the paints used to make it. Ethical concerns about the destructive removal of pigment samples, however, have limited compositional investigations. Here, we used portable X-ray fluorescence technology in situ to noninvasively examine the elemen…

  • All that glitters isn’t calcite: A research update on crystalline artifacts from the Middle Cumberland Region

    Michael C Moore, K Smith et al.•ARTICLE•Southeastern Archaeology•2023•References: 5

    This report offers updated information from crystalline artifact research results initially presented in 2014 by Michael C. Moore and colleagues. At that time, worked and raw crystal items from four Mississippian sites in the Middle Cumberland Region of Tennessee were assessed by the Tennessee Geological Survey as calcite through visual techniques. Subsequent analysis using Fiber Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS) has determined these specimen…
