Recent developments in geophysical data analysis suggest that in addition to a multi-method approach, “data fusion” techniques can offer meaningful insights into archaeological features, as well as allow for researchers to establish patterns between multivariate data sets that might otherwise go unnoticed. Extensive and intensive geophysical prospection has been employed at the site of Portus i...

Archaeological data collection is based on the description of archaeological contexts. An archaeological excavation demolishes the original matrix within which the cultural material is found and special care is taken to record spatial context. Each artifact is described in terms of its physical and spatial properties as well as its relation to the matrix (for example soil composition). As sever...

Close inspection suggests that engraved lines may complement natural features of the rock surface suggestive of the trunk and possibly also the tusks. The geomorphic history of the cave gives a context ...
