Understanding “local”
Open AccessCarolyn Freiwald, Asta Rand et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024Referencias: 10
Classic period Maya populations were mobile, and both burial patterns and dietary analyses suggest that many movers were incorporated into local communities. This paper presents a multi‐isotopic (Sr, O, S, C, and N) study of the diet and mobility of 18 Late (AD 550–800) and Terminal Classic (AD 800–900) individuals from the site of Pacbitun, Belize. Three distinct isotope systems identify where people lived at different stages of life, from the c…

Early Maya Ceremonial Architecture at Pacbitun, Belize
Open AccessTerry G Powis, George J Micheletti et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2019Citada por: 5Referencias: 12
The development of Middle Preclassic (900-300 BC) ceremonial architecture is receiving more attention by archaeologists conducting research in the Maya Lowlands. Although a few examples have been partially excavated, there is still a dearth of information on how and why monumental constructions were originally built. This is largely because early structures often lie below several layers of sequential architecture, making them difficult to locate…

King Solomon’s Silver? Southern Phoenician Hacksilber Hoards and the Location of Tarshish
Open AccessChristine Marmé Thompson, Christine Thompson et al.ARTICLEInternet Archaeology2013Citada por: 7
Evidence from silver hoards found in Phoenicia is linking Tarshish, the legendary source of King Solomon's silver, to ores in the western Mediterranean. Biblical passages sometimes describe this lost land as a supplier of metals (especially silver) to Phoenician sailors who traded in the service of Solomon and Hiram of Tyre in the 10th century BC. Classical authors similarly attribute the mercantile supremacy of the Phoenicians to their command o…
Local mining or lead importation in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis? Lead isotope analysis of curse tablets from Roman Carthage, Tunisia

Recent archaeological research at Toteng, Botswana
Lawrence H Robbins, Alec C Campbell et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Archaeology2008Citada por: 10
This paper presents the first combined use of OSL and AMS dating to address the problem of the advent of livestock in southern Africa. Excavations at Toteng, at the eastern end of the Lake Ngami basin, have revealed bones of wetland and domesticated animals dating to around 2 ka. There is also Bambata pottery and microliths. Between 2.1–1.5 ka the lake level increased to ca 934 m asl but declined rapidly to less than 930 m asl by 1.2 ka. People l…
