New paper out in Geoarchaeology: Is It the Floor or Isn’t It the Floor?
We present a practical way to interpret homogeneous house floors using paired sampling and geoarchaeology.

Bei archäologischen Ausgrabungen gibt es vieles zu beachten. Es müssen nicht nur mögliche Funde geschützt werden, sondern auch die Archäolog*innen selbst.

Another busy day @uclarchaeology.bsky.social with #JebelMoya material and processing #pXRF results from figurines curated by @maacambridge.bsky.social I have a lot of love for London but my heart is always in #Sudan 🏺
What can 9 mysterious metal bracelets at the Yale University Art Gallery tell us about value, meaning-making and the history of racial identity in Africa and Europe?

Currently underway in Antas Valley, Sardinia: excavations and fieldwork to explore the material and geochemical legacies of manual mining in the 12th-14th centuries. Here: Prof Guy Geltner and A/Prof Giovanna Bianchi carrying equipment for the dig.

Literature of preindustrial mining in Europe evidences long-term pollution impacts, from the loss of fish in nearby lakes and rivers (Falun copper mine) to the desertification of forests (Błędów Desert). But new tools allow us to better understand the depths of these impacts. #pxrf #envhist

A keyboard and screen with a metal stand next to it containing an XRF machine. On the bench are some clear plastic bags containing glass samples
It’s been a long while but finally a productive day in the lab analysing lots of glass! Fingers crossed no more technical issues.

The plan is to create grids of samples, which will be analyse with a #pxrf to get a chemical signature of the human activities at the site.
In May, a group of researchers conducted a geochemical survey in the Antas Valley, Iglesiente region, Sardinia, to explore the environmental (and health) impacts of pre-industrial mining from a silver-mining boom in the 12-14th centuries.

Alana Pengilley is presenting her Honours research at the @AustmusResearch Student Forum. #pXRF, stone axes, trade networks and the archaeology of #NewBritain.
Alana used #pXRF for her analysis and preliminary results show a strong relationship between tool type and raw material, particularly waisted blades #nascsydney2018 #lithics #png @austmus
