Abstract
Microscopic Egyptian blue (synthetic cuprorivaite) from sediments at two archaeological sites in west central England
Matthew G Canti
Jen Heathcote
831 - 836
Reports two microscopic finds of Egyptian blue (pigment) from the Tesco car park site, Cirencester, Gloucestershire and from Mill Street, Wantage, Oxfordshire. The fragments came from heavy mineral separates and micromorphological slides from Roman and Saxon sediments respectively, and were compared with laboratory made cuprorivaite. The strong blue colouration, morphology, optics, energy dispersive X-Ray analysis and X-Ray diffraction results are consistent across the range of archaeological and experimental examples. Further issues of origin, manufacturing and taphonomy are also discussed.
The relationship between molar wear and age in an early 19th century AD archaeological human skeletal series of documented age at death
Simon Mays
861 - 871
Study the of crown height of molar teeth. Results indicate an approximately linear relationship between crown height and age. A closer relationship between age and crown height exists for the mandibular than the maxillary molars. Suggests that dental wear is a reliable ageing technique for most archaeological skeletal material. A nineteenth-century Dutch skeletal collection of known age at death were used in the research.
