Disentangling local and regional factors for establishment of the magnetic paleoenvironmental proxy records derived from loess–paleosol sequence in Bulgaria
Magnetic susceptibility variations in loess–paleosol successions are widely utilized proxy records for reconstructions of global climate change during the Pleistocene. Analysis of the role of local factors in the establishment of magnetic signatures is rarely addressed. This study compares magnetic records along several adjacent profiles exposed in three open quarries near Kaolinovo (NE Bulgaria). The effect of the position of the sampled locatio…
Rock magnetic signature of human habitation in stratification profiles from archaeological mounds
Field magnetic susceptibility detects anthropogenic load along stratigraphic profiles, Strongest magnetic signal found in burnt sintered clay layers, Black charcoal strata also show strongest magnetic signal
MesoMag
investigating pyrogenic magnetism can support identifying Mesolithic land use traces, laboratory magnetometers can facilitate soil characterisation for archaeological applications
Iron Age ceramics from Thracian rock-cut complexes from Bulgaria – Mineral magnetic relics of technological production and use
A collection of 135 Iron Age sherds from stratified sequence at Thracian rock-cut site studied. • Magnetic properties reveal gradual changes in iron oxide content and firing temperature of ceramics. • Magnetic properties of wheel-made vessels from Late Iron Age notably differ from hand-made ones. • Either two raw clay sources or different firing regimes suggested for Early Iron Age ceramics. • Wheel-made ceramics from Late Iron Age made from diff…
Holocene palaeoenvironmental conditions in NE Bulgaria uncovered by mineral magnetic and paleomagnetic records of an alluvial soil
Retrieving well-dated terrestrial archives of Holocene climate change is fundamentally important for building robust climate models and predictions. In this study we obtained records of paleomagnetic direction and relative paleointensity of the Earth's magnetic field from an alluvial soil situated on a flood river terrace close to the well-dated and stratigraphically confined Chalcolithic mound near the village of Koprivetz in NE Bulgaria. Anisot…
Mineral-Magnetic Characterization as a Key to Explain Differences in Magnetic Contrast and Improve Archaeological Interpretation
New approach to mineral-magnetic characterization.– Evaluation of factors influencing geophysical results.– Origin of a fringe without magnetic contrast explained by waterlogging
Imprints of paleo-environmental conditions and human activities in mineral magnetic properties of fired clay remains from Neolithic houses
Clay source and firing temperatures of Roman ceramics
During urgent archaeological excavations in the city of Plovdiv (South Bulgaria), a Roman pottery workshop was found, including several dome kilns, ceramic sherds, and a large clay deposit incorporating yellow and gray clay layers. A set of the ceramic specimens (kitchenwares and tablewares) and raw clay samples were investigated using a portable device for X‐ray fluorescence and laboratory equipment for magnetic measurements, aiming to provide s…
