Abstract: Abstract The corrosion behaviour of Cu-Sn-Pb bronze alloys in an archaeological-soil medium was examined using electrochemical measurements, microscopy observations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The corrosion mechanism was mainly composed of the spontaneous dissolution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01977261.2020.1860351
Abstract: ABSTRACT Unlike larger stone tools and debitage, the analysis of microdebitage (measuring less than 6 mm) allows for identifying likely areas where stone tools were manufactured at prehistoric archaeological sites. The tedious, time-consuming, and costly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0164882
Abstract: Steroids are used as faecal markers in environmental and in archaeological studies, because they provide insights into ancient agricultural practices and the former presence of animals. Up to now, steroid analyses could only identify and… read more here.
