Abstract

It is tempting in material sourcing analyses to treat chemical data primarily as numbers to be sorted, while disregarding their interlinked geochemistries. Consideration of geochemistry, however, often leads to the drawing of more nuanced and reliable conclusions. In this paper we re‐examine data published in 2020, related to the sourcing of stone #58 at Stonehenge, paying attention to geochemistry. We question the potential single‐source interpretation of these data and suggest instead that three to six sources cannot be ruled out.

巨石阵重访：用地球化学方法解释萨森石的地理来源 #58

在材料来源分析中，很容易将化学数据主要视为需要分类的数字，而忽略其相互关联的地球化学。然而，考虑到地球化学因素，往往能得出更细致、更可靠的结论。在本文中，我们重新审查了 2020 年发表的有关巨石阵 58 号石块来源的数据，并对地球化学进行了关注。我们对这些数据的潜在单一来源解释提出质疑，并认为不能排除三到六个来源的可能性。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
