The Use of Mineral Magnetic Parameters to Characterize Archaeological Ochres
نویسنده
چکیده
The application of several magnetic parameters to ochre samples has found that they can be used to characterize samples from known ochre quarries. This technique also allows the sourcing of ochre found in archaeological contexts and provides an alternative to geochemical methods of provenancing ochres. Simple magnetic parameters (susceptibility and isothermal remanence) are effective in discriminating between ochre sourced from various quarries, however more sophisticated parameters are required to ascribe unknown samples to specific sources. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The aim of this paper is to consider what constitutes agent-based modelling (ABM) and how this can relate to archaeological reasoning. The development and construction of ABM models is an essential prerequisite for most archaeological reasoning. Both directly and indirectly, archaeologists are making extensive use of ideas and methods in applications that derive from archaeological, anthropolog...

Experimental studies of hafting adhesives and modifications to compound tool components can demonstrate the extent to which human ancestors understood and exploited material properties only formally defined by science within the last century. Discoveries of Stone Age hafting adhesives at archaeological sites in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have spurred experiments that sought to replicat...

Research and exploration of the remaining relics from the past has special importance in identifying the date, history and the identity of a country. Development and the advancement of human knowledge have offered new methods for the detection archaeological sites that by using them without the need for excavation and destruction of antiquities can be found useful information. Today, the non-de...
متن کاملMagnetic susceptibility as a tool for mineral exploration (Case study: Southern of Zagros Mountains)
Magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. This magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. The Poisson theory is one of the mos...

In the environment, two main sources of heavy metals are natural backgrounds derived from parent rocks and anthropogenic contamination including mineral industrial wastes, tailing damps of sulfide mines, agrochemicals, and other outputs of industrial activities and factories. In this work, the physico-chemical aspects of the magnetic Nano- mineral surfaces are studied in contrast to acid mine d...
