  • Premier bilan des recherches sur la pierre de construction à Mégara Hyblaea

    Open AccessFrédéric Mège, Cristina Belfiore et al.ARTICLEMélanges de l École française de…2020References: 8

    Dans cet article, on propose un premier bilan des recherches préliminaires sur la pierre de construction à Mégara Hyblaea, fruits des travaux communs d’une équipe d’archéologues et de géologues. Les analyses pétrographiques d’échantillons représentatifs de l’architecture en pierre de Mégara ont d’abord montré que trois types de roche avaient été utilisés : il s’agit de calcarénites appartenant à des formations géologiques locales du Pléistocène e…

  • Petro-structural geology of the Eastern Aspromonte Massif crystalline basement (southern Italy-Calabria)

    Open AccessGuy Ortolano, Gaetano Ortolano et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2015

    The presented maps provide an example of the synoptic display of multi-scale geological features characterizing the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the crystalline basement terranes in a poly-orogenic-multistadial evolutionary scenario. The petro-structural map of the eastern Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabrian Peloritani Orogen) is characterized by a nappe-like edifice composed by the superimposition of three crystalline basement tectonic uni…

  • Tectono-metamorphic map of the south-western flank of the Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabria -Italy)

    Open AccessEugenio Fazio, Rosolino Cirrincione et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2015

    The structural-geological field survey (1:10,000 scale) of the south-western portions of the Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabria, Italy) clearly reveal a nappe-pile stack made of three main tectono-metamorphic units piled-up by means of tectonic contacts with associated cataclastic or mylonitic rocks developed at various crustal depth. These three units are from top to bottom: the Stilo Unit, the Aspromonte-Peloritani Unit (APU) and the Madonna …

  • Limestone Provenance in Roman Lime‐Volcanic Ash Mortars from the Villa dei Quintili, Rome

    Open AccessGiusj Valentina Fichera, Cristina Maria Belfiore et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2015Cited by: 8References: 4

    Roman mortars were collected from the Villa dei Quintili in Rome, an archaeological site consisting of numerous edifices from nine construction phases dating from the 2nd century A.D. to modern times. A multianalytical approach was used on 34 mortar samples to infer the evolution of production techniques over time and to identify the source area of calcareous raw materials used in the preparation of the lime. Optical microscopy, scanning electron…

  • A Multidisciplinary Approach for the Archaeometric Study of Pozzolanic Aggregate in R oman Mortars

    Open AccessCristina Maria Belfiore, Giusj Valentina Fichera et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2015Cited by: 2References: 24

    This contribution focuses on the study of historical mortars from a Roman archaeological site known as V illa dei Q uintili , a monumental villa located in the south‐eastern part of R ome ( I taly). The study was carried out on 38 mortar samples, collected from several edifices within the complex. A multi‐analytical approach, including polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive system and laser ablat…

  • Petrographic and Chemical Characterization of Pottery Production of the Late Minoan I Kiln at Haghia Triada, Crete

    Open AccessCristina Maria Belfiore, Peter M Day et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2007Cited by: 16References: 13

    Pottery from the Late Minoan I kiln at Haghia Triada in the Mesara Plain, southern Crete, was analysed by a range of techniques, comprising thin‐section petrography, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis. The project characterizes the ceramic fabrics and probable raw materials, correlates paste recipes with shape, reconstructs the firing conditions of the kiln and establishes a chemica…

  • Chemical Characterization and Statistical Multivariate Analysis of Ancient Pottery From Messina, Catania, Lentini and Siracusa (Sicily)

    Open AccessGermana Barone, Antonino Lo Giudice et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2005Cited by: 7References: 7

    This paper presents the chemical characterization of 79 fragments of Archaic and Hellenistic fine‐grained pottery from archaeological sites in Messina, Catania, Lentini and Siracusa (Sicily). The sherds were classified as ‘calcidian’, ‘banded’, ‘unvarnished’ and ‘black varnished’ pottery. The major and trace elements identified by X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) were statistically elaborated using the method proposed by J. Aitchinson in 1986 for the ana…

  • Characterization and Thermoluminescence Dating of Prehistoric Pottery Sherds From Milena

    Open AccessS O TROJA, A Cro et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry1996Cited by: 3References: 7

    This paper reports the results obtained applying absolute dating methodologies and mineralogical, petrographical and micropalaeontological characterization techniques to prehistoric pottery sherds varying in age from the Sicilian Middle Neolithic to Bronze Age. All samples came from the archaeological area of Milena (Caltanissetta, Sicily); those of the Bronze Age were found on a site with a precise stratigraphic succession. The investigation has…
