Glass manufacturing processes and recipes changed fundamentally after the 8th century CE. The earlier centralised production system diversified, primary sites multiplied, scale of individual productions contracted. Mineral soda was no longer used instead replaced by plant ash as main network modifier, affecting chemical composition properties glass. In this work, LA-ICP-MS Raman spectroscopy were to investigate compositional structural characteristics 68 glass fragments recovered during...
Abstract Occurring throughout the Americas, ceramics with negative decoration have been variously used as archaeological markers of chronology, provenance, ethnic affiliation, or cultural interaction. In highlands adjacent regions Nariño (Colombia) and Carchi (Ecuador), they are recovered discussed frequently, but lack technical studies has prevented any conclusive inferences about their technology, craft organisation, diachronic evolution. Here we present first comparative analysis chaînes...
Abstract Northwestern Patagonia is located in a tectonically active part of the southern Andes (Argentina), which has facilitated formation obsidian, including pyroclastic deposits that have been affected by geomorphic processes, resulting complex obsidian landscape. To date, relocation landscape not focus systematic research, and this hampers our understanding prehistoric human mobility. We present an updated assessment regional availability different types based on results from research...
Abstract Red mineral pigment use is recognized as a fundamental component of series traits associated with human evolutionary development, social interaction, and behavioral complexity. Iron-enriched deposits have been collected prepared for in rock art, personal adornment, mortuary practices millennia, yet little known about early developments processing techniques North America. Microanalysis art pigments from the American Pacific Northwest reveals sophisticated iron oxide produced by...
En el norte neuquino existen depósitos piroclásticos que contienen nódulos de obsidianas. Las investigaciones en la región dieron a conocer las principales fuentes utilizadas por poblaciones allí habitaron. Para profundizar conocimiento cada fuente obsidiana se adoptó un programa estudio geoarqueológico y geoquímico. Así, han descubierto nuevas ocurrencias obsidianas, más destacable cuales es Varvarco aquí presenta. Se dan los muestreos realizados valle del río Varvarco, su contexto...
In January 1765, the Spanish merchant frigate Purísima Concepción went aground on Atlantic coast of Tierra del Fuego while sailing along Cape Horn route from Cádiz to Lima. The shipwreck survivors remained in island for nearly three months, time devoted construction another vessel interacting peacefully with native population. view historical significance this event, an archaeological project was conducted locate and survivor's camp. searches were both land underwater areas that considered...
This paper presents composition and microstructural analysis of seventy-four glazed ceramics from the recently excavated tortkul sites Arna, Talapty, Zhargul in lower Talas River Valley, Kazakhstan. A is a fortified medieval settlement, traditionally identified as nodes to link Silk Road trade routes through Radiocarbon dating place occupation these tortkuls during early Islamic Period (10-12th c. CE). Analysis ceramic pastes by neutron activation (NAA) identifies six distinct compositional...
