More Bronze Age less bronze: copper axes in the late Bronze Age hoard from Karmin, Poland

Neolithic and Bronze Age

This document comprises a Stage 2 resource assessment and draft research agenda for the Neolithic and Bronze Age (Early – Middle) of the East Midlands. It builds upon the assessments for Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire presented at a seminar at County Hall, Leicester on 28.1.1999 (Bishop 1999; Chapman 1999, Clay 1999a; Membury 1999; Myers ...

Texture analysis of bronze age axes by neutron diffraction

Neutron diffraction has been utilised as a noninvasive diagnostic tool to gain insight into the ancient metallurgic and manufacturing techniques employed for the production of three bronze age axes from archaic to late bronze age (20th to 13th Century BC). The analysed bronze artefacts are from the “Terramare” and other bronze age settlements near Modena, Italy. Neutron diffraction provides the...

The Many Ways between Late Bronze Age Aegeans and Levants

Chronology for the Aegean Late Bronze Age 1700-1400 B.C.

Radiocarbon (carbon-14) data from the Aegean Bronze Age 1700-1400 B.C. show that the Santorini (Thera) eruption must have occurred in the late 17th century B.C. By using carbon-14 dates from the surrounding region, cultural phases, and Bayesian statistical analysis, we established a chronology for the initial Aegean Late Bronze Age cultural phases (Late Minoan IA, IB, and II). This chronology c...

The Bronze Age of science in Spain.

in conjunction with our results, demonstrate that in certain H. pylori strains, CagA plays an essential role in the activation of NF-κB. We acknowledge in our article that CagA may not be the only component that H. pylori uses to activate inflammation. Compelling evidence exists that under some circumstances other H. pylori factors can induce an inflammatory response. For example, CagA clearly ...
