Artifacts of cold-hammered native gold have been discovered in a secure and undisturbed Terminal Archaic burial context at Jiskairumoko, multicomponent Late Archaic–Early Formative period site the southwestern Lake Titicaca basin, Peru. The dates to 3776 3690 carbon-14 years before present (2155 1936 calendar B.C.), making this earliest worked recovered date not only from Andes, but Americas as well. This discovery lends support hypothesis that metalworking Andes was experimentation with...
Chemical analysis of 31 glass beads from the sites Mahilaka and Sandrakatsy in Madagascar, which date to approximately 9 th 15 centuries CE, reveals presence two main types glass: mineral- soda glasses plant-ash glasses. Most these were probably made South Asia.
Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its core, was the epicentre of most extraordinary expansion global trade ever witnessed along Maritime Silk Route. But this story is incomplete because many objects trade, and shipwrecks from which they originated, were salvaged dispersed without adequate archaeological recording details their find-spots. This article critically assesses prevailing legislative ethical landscape underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in Indonesia, delineating underlying tensions...
This manuscript presents the first non-destructive synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence study of natural mineral pigments on Aboriginal Australian objects. Our results demonstrate advantage XFM (X-ray microscopy) objects for optimum sensitivity, elemental analysis, micron-resolution mapping pigment areas and method also has being to cultural heritage Estimates thickness can be calculated. In addition, based maps pigments, further conclusions drawn composition mixtures uses whether were made...
Samples of pigments indigenous to the US Northern Great Plains were collected in association with conservation a buffalo hide tanned and painted by Crow Indian(s) 19th century, which is now collection National Museum American Indian. The characterised using series analytical techniques – some common others uncommon science field, including portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF), diffraction (XRD), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).
