No full textSun stones and the darkened sun: Neolithic miniature art from the island of Bornholm, Denmark
No full textThe discovery of more than 600 whole and fragmentary engraved stone plaques in the early third millennium BC infill from the ditches of a causewayed enclosure at Vasagård, on the Danish island of Bornholm, represents a unique find in Neolithic miniature art. Termed ‘sun stones’ in reference to the rayed images that characterise many of the plaques, the stones were deposited en masse over a short period. This article offers a fundamental classification of the rich imagery captured in the engravings and examines its potential function at a time of possible climatic crisis that impacted not just Bornholm but the wider northern hemisphere
Cinnabar for Roman Ephesus: Material quality, processing and provenance
No full textEphesus was an important harbor city that flourished during the Roman period and ancient texts mention Almadén in Spain and the Cilbian fields of Ephesus as important cinnabar sources in antiquity. This work investigates whether imported cinnabar was used and whether this could be related to changes in painting activities over time. Microscopic analysis indicates a consistent preparation of cinnabar, hinting at a uniform source material quality or processing technique. However, the use of cinnabar varies among the architectural structures studied, indicating a plurality of painting techniques. A few of the analyzed cinnabar samples overlap with Turkish- and Balkan reference Pb isotope ratios; three samples from tabernas, however, deviate from this. The Hg isotope ratios reveal that cinnabar from carbonate-hosted deposits was likely used, and that processing of cinnabar included heating as suggested by ancient texts. Most notably, a correlation exists between the geochemical data and the painting technique – shifts in sourcing and cinnabar usage are potentially assignable to building chronology and/or usage. Through the lens of material provenance and processing, Ephesian cinnabar brings the organization of pigment trade into focus

KNV01580-01 Lystrupvej, Lystrup gods
Get PDFMuseum Sydøstdanmark foretog en mindre arkæologisk undersøgelse forud for etableringen af sø og vandløb ved Lystrup Gods. Forundersøgelsen afdækkede 426 m2 svarende til 5,4% af det samlede areal. Der fremkom ingen væsentlige fortidsminder, og området var kraftigt præget af vådbundsområder. Området blev efter endt undersøgelse frigivet til bygherres planlagte anlægsarbejde

No full textVæsentlige egenskaber i arkæologisk, nedbrudt træ fra undervands- eller vandmættede miljøer afviger betydeligt fra friskt træ. Når materialet tages ud af det hidtidige iltfattige og vandmættede miljø, starter en kæde af destruktive processer – medmindre der findes forholdsregler, konkrete planer og ressourcer for at sikre fremtiden for de udgravede genstande. Forståelse for forskellene mellem friskt /ikke-nedbrudt træ og arkæologisk vanddrukkent træ og dets krav er afgørende for alle, der er involveret i udgravning af vanddrukne træfund, og en introduktion til vanddrukkent træs særlige egenskaber gives i indledningen. Papiret skitserer derefter nogle af de nødvendige trin, når vanddrukne arkæologiske skibsvrag fjernes fra det undervandsmiljøet, indtil de er i stabil tilstand, hensigtsmæssigt opbevaret eller udstillet
