Southern Sumatra late prehistoric and early historical maritime exchange
Sumatra has long been recognized as a pivotal crossroads for trade in the Indian Ocean, with evidence of this activity dating back to the late first millennium when the Srivijaya regional polity emerged. The predominant hypothesis regarding this trade is that upland areas supplied forest products to lowland centers, which functioned as international trading marketplaces. These marketplaces received imported materials, some of which were exchanged…

Cross-Cultural Connections
This study explores the reception and adaptation of Roman and Roman-inspired materials in South Asia and Southeast Asia during the early historic period. Drawing on a database of over 300 objects, it compares materials such as glass vessels, beads, engraved gems, and coin adaptations. While South Asia shows greater diversity and quantity of Roman imports, Southeast Asia demonstrates selective appropriation and creative transformation, often filte…
The death jar
Hundreds of large stone vessels can be found dispersed across the Xieng Khouang Plateau in northern Laos. Despite nearly a century of research, their purpose remains uncertain. Here, the authors report on the excavation of the exceptionally large Jar 1 at Site 75, which contains a collective mortuary assemblage of secondary interments. The disarticulated remains of at least 37 individuals hint at the jars’ function within a complex funerary seque…
Chemical Composition and Provenance of Bead Glass From Medieval and Postmedieval Ethiopia
The central and eastern regions of medieval Ethiopia were characterized by intensive transcultural connections, as evidenced by the presence of imported glass bead artifacts. An assemblage of over 18,800 beads and their fragments, currently in the Ethiopian National Museum in Addis Ababa, has been studied during the SolZag Project. This paper presents the results of an analysis of 133 glass beads from eight sites of the local and Islamic cultures…
Northwest Cambodia and the Mekong Interaction Sphere
This paper reviews stone (agate and carnelian) and glass bead assemblages from three sites in northwest Cambodia: Lovea, Prei Khmeng, and Sophy. Beads from all three sites were largely found in burial contexts dating to the Iron Age or protohistoric period (500 BCE-500 CE). While stone and glass beads are frequently markers of contact with South Asia, they are also informative for understanding intra-regional exchange networks within Southeast As…
Nueva Cadiz Glass Beads at James Fort in Virginia
The glass bead assemblage generated by archaeological excavations at the seventeenth-century English colonial site of Jamestown in Virginia contains an anomalously large proportion of types, such as Nueva Cadiz and faceted chevron, that traditionally have been viewed as diagnostic of sixteenth-century Spanish assemblages. This study has applied the Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) method of compositional ana…

Palygorskite from Sacalum, Yucatán in Maya Blue From the Eastern Maya Lowlands
Maya Blue is a unique hybrid pigment created by combining organic indigo with the inorganic clay mineral palygorskite. First used for architectonic decoration in the Terminal Preclassic, it became widespread in the Late Classic on figurines, murals, and elite ceramics. Unlike indigo, it is notable for its durability and resistance to degradation by acids, alkalines, organic solvents and fading. The authors analyzed 17 samples of Maya Blue on pott…

Six carnelian beads are from Banganarti, a Christian pilgrimage center of the Makuria Kingdom (9th -14th centuries) and 18 beads and two carnelian flake fragments are from Old Dongola, capital of the Kingdom of Dongola (14th-18th centuries). Bead shapes show considerable variation, but bead perforati…
Obsidian Procurement and Exchange at the Apogee of Empire
During the Middle Horizon (AD 600-1000), obsidian was transported in greater quantities and distances than ever before identified in the Andes, in part by the expansionary Wari state. Two of the three major obsidian sources used in the south-central Andes are located in the modern department of Arequipa, Peru. Arequipa was a region of intense Wari influence and intrusive presence; however, little is known about regional obsidian use. Portable X-r…
