Automatic reconstruction of archeological fragmented objects is an invaluable tool for restoration purposes and personnel. In this paper, we assume that broken pieces resemble similar characteristics on their common boundaries, when they are correctly combined, of course. Bearing in mind that common boundaries preserve texture and geometry, we analyze features that allow the transport of charac...

The presence, forms and techniques used in artificial cranial deformation and dental decoration were studied in 1,515 skeletons found in 94 mostly pre-Hispanic archeological sites (in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras) dating from the Preclassical, Classic and Postclassic periods. Biographical and associated archeological information was analyzed, based on a theoretical model of biocultural intera...

In this paper we exploit a volunteer-based paradigm for archeological aims. In particular, we present PetroAdvisor, a system supporting several fundamental activities to digitally preserve petroglyph sites. The system exploits a rewarding strategy to stimulate people participation to the project, so that those entering useful information gain free archeological data, tips on excursions and tour...

Abstract In this paper, we analyzed Late Bronze and Iron Age pottery assemblages from the site of Arslantepe (Malatya, eastern Turkey) by utilizing a combination thin-section petrography X-ray wavelength dispersive fluorescence techniques. Following an introduction to overview archeological historical evidence, analysis is presented, outcomes discussed in wider framework Syro-Anatolian Mediterr...

Despite the large number of unguentaria vessels generally discovered in Roman archeological sites, very little information is available concerning nature and chemical composition products that were originally contained within these artifacts. In this study a combined non-destructive approach included Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy X-ray fluorescence was used ...

Nowadays, it is a common knowledge that scholars from different disciplines, regardless of the specificities of their research domains, can find in network science a valuable ally when tackling complexity. However, there are many difficulties that may arise, starting from the process of mapping a system onto a network which is not by any means a trivial step. This article deals with those issue...
