Glauconite and Chromatic Recipes in Roman Wall Painting from Astigi (Écija, Spain)
The present study examines the composition and technological strategies used to produce green hues in Roman wall paintings from Augusta Firma–Astigi (Écija, Spain) through Raman spectroscopy. The results identify glauconite as the main green earth pigment and reveal at least two groups with distinct Raman responses, suggesting differences in structural order and geological provenance. The analyses also demonstrate the deliberate combination of gr…
La pesca fluvial en el territorio del Conventus Cordubensis
En el curso de las investigaciones realizadas en el yacimiento arqueológico de Mellaria y la constitución del museo de Fuente Obejuna (Córdoba) han aparecido algunos materiales plúmbeos que han merecido un estudio individualizado. Se trata de unos ejemplares identificados como pesas de atarraya, procedentes de contextos adscritos a época romana, y destinados a un uso individual en los ríos de la región en la Antigüedad. En este artículo se estudi…
A Green Prevailing Monochromy in the Wall Paintings of the Domus at Avenida Miguel de Cervantes 35 (Écija, Seville)
This paper highlights the findings of the emergency excavation carried out at Avenida Miguel de Cervantes No. 35 in Écija, conducted in two phases between 1999 and 2000 and in 2003. The investigation revealed a domus featuring valuable decorative elements, including pictorial wall paintings and two high-quality mosaics. Stylistic analysis of the wall decorations identified a scheme composed of wide and narrow panels, with a predominance of bright…
Gender inequality in Ancient Rome through archaeometric studies of wine in funerary contexts
This article examines how the archaeometric and archaeological analysis of funerary assemblages in Roman tombs reveals gender inequality in Ancient Rome. Through modern scientific methodologies based on techniques coupled with mass spectrometry, differentiated patterns in funerary offerings according to the sex of the deceased are identified. The role of wine is analyzed as a symbolic marker of male power, linking its production, consumption, and…
Archaeological and Archaeochemical Analysis of the Painting in the Baths in Julián Besteiro Square, Carmona (Seville, Spain)
This paper addresses the archaeological and archaeochemical study of the fragments of mural painting recovered from the excavation of the baths in Julián Besteiro Square in Carmona. The analysis of the fragments allowed us to associate them with the first phase of the building’s decoration, one of the few examples of urban mural painting currently known in Carmona. It was dated between the first half and the middle of the first century AD. The ar…
Archaeological and Archaeometric Insights into a Roman Wall Painting Assemblage from the Blanes Dump (Mérida)
In this paper we describe the archaeological and archaeometric analysis of a Third Pompeian Style assemblage from the Blanes dump in Mérida (Spain). Based on the pottery context, the material would have been part of the decoration of a public or private space remodelled towards the end of the 1st century AD. Several samples from to the middle area of the assemblage, including panels, inter-panels and a frieze, were selected and studied using X-ra…
New archaeochemical insights into Roman wine from Baetica
Urn containing the reddish liquid • The liquid found in the tomb of Carmona is the oldest wine in the world. • The wine contained in the urn was white. • The polyphenols identified in the archaeological liquid are present in wines. • The mineral profile of the archaeological liquid is similar to that of a wine. Although ancient wines adsorbed on vessel walls or their remains can be identified with the help of specific biomarkers, no analysis of s…
La societas Sisaponensis , los lingotes de Doña Rama-Belmez y la explotación minera de los montes de Corduba
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es presentar importantes novedades sobre el marco histórico y productivo de la explotación minera de la sierra de Corduba en época romana, así como de la gestión de sus recursos. Desde hace años y a partir de la documentación epigráfica disponible, se ha venido apuntando una posible presencia en este territorio de la societas Sisaponensis y de la explotación de plomo y plata por su parte, a pesar de la afamad…
Archaeometric Identification of a Perfume from Roman Times
Although archaeological excavations have recovered a large number of vessels used to hold perfumes or ointments in ancient Rome, little is known about the chemical composition or origin of the substances they contained. Most available information pertains to ointment and/or cosmetic bases rather than to essences. The discovery in 2019 of an ointment jar (unguentarium) made of rock crystal (quartz) that was sealed with a stopper and contained a so…
