Certain markers in bone structure allow researchers to estimate the length of an entire bone based only on a fragmented piece. Forensic anthropologists and bio-archeologists have recently devoted greater attention to the estimation of bone length from fragmented bones. This study aims to evaluate osteometric data in order to distinguish the population affinity of Byzantine individuals, as well ...

Archaeological past of Trabzon has been explained by considering the data in written sources antique era -to date. However, so-far this history cannot be proved archaeologically. The region witnessed a few, short-term surveys, which did not continue long. Protohistoric Period Survey Project was started 2018 aims to increase about region. In 2019 survey season, Mulaga Valley Maçka one areas wher...

Abstract 3D data captured from archaeological excavations are frequently left to speak for themselves. models of objects uploaded online viewing platforms, the tops or bottoms surfaces visualised in 2.5D, both reduced 2D representations. Representations excavation units, particular, often remain incompletely processed as raw surface outputs, unable be considered individual entities that represe...

This important cave is described together with an analysis of the potential health effects for humans inhabiting an ecosystem, albeit on a temporary basis, possessing an ammonia rich atmospheric environment. The work emphasises potential environmental hazards together with an evaluation of the range of clinical effects. The environmental pollution in this cave is generally unlikely to have mark...

Lidar has become an essential tool for the mapping and interpretation of natural archaeological features within landscape. It is also increasingly integrated visualized geoarchaeological deposit models, providing valuable topographic stratigraphic control from contemporary ground surface downwards. However, there a wide range methods available visualization lidar elevation models review existin...

Abstract This paper interrogates afresh what the various Igbo-Ukwu site contexts, carefully examined and closely documented by Shaw, represent in terms of depositional history (that is, sequence interrelation events processes embodied archaeologically observable features). To this end, re-specifies key contextual relationships at three excavated sites addresses time-depth that each series conte...

The article deals with new archaeological materials concerning one of the objects Tsaryovokokshaysk temple complex – Cathedral Resurrection built in 1759. A brief overview construction at since founding town is presented. On basis archival sources and scientific works on Tsarevokokshaysk complex, basic information history given, particular, about previous wooden temples place future cathedral, ...

Imaging spectroscopy acquires imagery in hundreds or more narrow contiguous spectral bands. This offers unprecedented information for archaeological research. To extract the maximum of useful archaeological information from it, however, a number of problems have to be solved. Major problems relate to data redundancy and the visualization of the large amount of data. This makes data mining appro...

We present absolute geomagnetic intensities from iron smelting furnaces discovered at the metallurgical site of Korsimoro, Burkina Faso. Up to now, archaeologists recognized four different types of furnaces based on different construction methods, which were related to four subsequent time periods. Additionally, radiocarbon ages obtained from charcoal confine the studied furnaces to ages rangin...

We use archaeological data and spatial methods to reconstruct the dispersal of farming into areas of sub-Saharan Africa now occupied by Bantu language speakers, and introduce a new large-scale radiocarbon database and a new suite of spatial modelling techniques. We also introduce a method of estimating phylogeographic relationships from archaeologically-modelled dispersal maps, with results pro...
