Abstract Natron-based glass was a vital part of material culture in the Mediterranean and Europe for nearly two millennia, but natron found elsewhere on Eurasian Continent has not received adequate discussion, despite its influence ancient Asian glass. Here we present new interpretation finds from both West East. After establishing compositional types technological sequence (eighth-second century BCE) using trace elements, report analysis mid-1st millennium BCE bead Xinjiang, China, which...
The phases of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with light-induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are studied within the mean-field approximation. mixed BEC phase, in which system condenses superposition two plane-wave states, is found to be stable for sufficiently small light-atom coupling, becoming unstable continuous fashion increasing coupling. structure phase diagram at fixed chemical potential bosons SOC shown imply an unusual density dependence trapped one dressed spin state radius,...
Bioavailable Sr and detrital Nd isotopes are important tools for archaeological provenance. To apply provenance, regional isotope databases baselines generally needed. For the vast Silk Road regions of Mesopotamia, Iran, Central Asia, detailed isotopic distribution patterns essential determining provenance may not become available in short term due to severe deficiency data. In present work, we investigate geo-environmental factors controlling signatures use published data from archaeology...
Abstract The Wujiafentou site is located at the heart of Youziling (5900–5500 cal BP) and Shijiahe (4500–4200 cultures in Handong region, a core area to understand relationship among economic networks, sociopolitical integration, regional identity middle Yangtze River valley (MYRV) central China during Late Neolithic times. Its pottery assemblages are important clues understanding production use before after extensive walled town construction activities MYRV. less than 5 km from town,...
Excavated glass artifacts are usually environmentally impacted, causing spatial inhomogeneity which poses great challenges for accurate and non-destructive chemical characterization. Here, we present our study on characterization of archaeological with Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), a high-precision minimally destructive analytic method. Using three corroded beads excavated from Guangnan, Yunnan, Southern China as examples, discuss the issues that...
A theoretical study of interacting bosons in a periodic optical lattice is presented. Instead the commonly used tight-binding approach (applicable near Mott insulating regime phase diagram), present work starts from exact single-particle states cubic lattice, satisfying Mathieu equation, an that can be particularly useful at large boson fillings. The effects short-range interactions are incorporated using self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation, and predictions for experimental...
