Abstract
Accessory minerals as tracers in the provenancing of archaeological marbles, used in combination with isotopic and petrographic data
S Capedri
G Venturelli
517 - 536
Thirty-eight archaeological marbles were provenanced using the accessory minerals as tracers and the results were compared with those inferred for the same artefacts using isotope composition and MGS (maximum grain size of calcite grains). The number of inferred possible sources is generally lower when using the mineralogical method, which therefore seems to be suited to marble provenancing (Italian data).
The complementary use of neutrons and X-rays for the non-destructive investigation of archaeological objects from Swiss collections

The paper shows the possibilities offered by the combined use of non-destructive neutron and X-ray beams in archaeological research on metallic finds, using five Iron Age and Roman artefacts from Swiss excavations.
DNA and protein recovery from washed experimental stone tools
O C Shanks
Marcel Kornfeld
Walter Ream
663 - 672
Previous research documents the identification of protein residues from tools sinicated in 5% ammonium hydroxide, but it remains untested whether the same treatment yields useable DNA. In this study the authors report both DNA and protein recovery using 5% ammonium hydroxide from residues on stone tools. They extracted 13-year-old residues from experimentally manufactured stone tools used to butcher a single animal. They also show that surface washing procedures typically used to curate stone tools remove only a small fraction of the DNA and protein deposited during animal butchery.
Phosphates in archaeological finds: implications for environmental conditions of buria...
L Maritan
C Mazzoli
673 - 683
The occurrence of coarse-grained vivianite and mitridatite aggregates in a potsherd, a grand ring and a timber imprint from an Italian Iron Age site suggest contrasting environmental conditions of burial. In particular, bone fragments were replaced by vivianite at relatively low pH and Eh, due to the presence of deteriorating organic matter, together with slag and iron flakes. Subsequent interactions with Ca-rich groundwater characterized by higher pH and Eh determined the growth of mitridatite after vivianite. Although phosphates crystallized after burial, the examined samples were not involved in prevasive chemical contamination.
