Three major chronological horizons are considered, covering the fourth to the first century BCE: the late Classical/early Hellenistic period, the middle Hellenistic period, and the late Hellenistic/early Roman Imperial period. Following a thorough typological and macroscopic study of fabrics, an integrated analytical approach combining petrography and elemental analysis (wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence) was applied to investigate the main macroscopic types and fabrics that characterised cooking wares. Integration of the results from the typological study with the subsequent analyses of 90 representative samples has provided high-resolution insights into cooking ware production and consumption at Priene over the study period. In addition to tracing transformations in local and regional manufacture over time, the results show that cooking wares were imported to the city from several places and, moreover, at a scale at least equivalent to that for other categories of ceramic vessels at that time. Changes in the manufacturing technology of local and regional products and the origin of imports are discussed in the context of significant historical developments that took place in this region over the period covered by the study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 56-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667136023000055/pdfft?md5=f3e082e323338d3582e89490b69cef80&pid=1-s2.0-S2667136023000055-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80920515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include grave goods as well as production waste related to large-scale bronze casting performed at Kerma. This study is part of a wider evaluation of copper alloy production at Kerma through targeted workshop excavation, materials analysis, and experimental archaeology. The analytical results illustrate the gradual and flexible transition from arsenical copper to tin bronze alloys over time, in a pattern similarly observed in ancient Egypt. Trace element distributions and lead isotope ratios for copper used at Kerma are comparable to those of contemporary Egyptian artefacts too. These findings indicate the exploitation of ores similar to those mined at the Sinai Peninsula, although copper ore deposits in Nubia remain poorly characterized and thus difficult to identify as source candidates. Nonetheless, it can be suggested that metal provisioning networks along the Nile Valley likely overlapped to varying degrees over time. These results provide an important contribution to the mapping of technological exchanges that took place between ancient Egypt and Nubia.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667136022000036/pdfft?md5=4c0687b00ce28c8a31c7a241b24c8ba8&pid=1-s2.0-S2667136022000036-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73577896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Chinese used special furnaces to smelt zinc for minting and exporting to overseas in large quantities. Archeological findings have revealed the overall structure of the zinc smelting furnaces at the Tongmuling site during the Qing Dynasty. In this study, computational fluid dynamics software was employed to simulate airflow fields within a furnace. Consequently, we observed that airflows were concentrated at the center of the lower chamber, after which they dispersed into the upper chamber through ceramic pads and finally were evenly distributed between the retorts. Increasing furnace height and improving thermal convection in the lower chamber helped increase the furnace temperature. The ceramic pads adjusted the airflow to ensure that temperature distribution in the upper chamber was uniform, and they supported burning in the upper chamber by preventing collapse. Compared with the heap smelting process recorded in <em>Heavenly Creations</em> and the large crucible furnaces used in modern times, zinc smelting furnaces at the Tongmuling site possess a unique structure. They serve as a link between preceding and subsequent technologies, offering important evidence for exploring the development of ancient Chinese zinc smelting technologies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 19-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667136022000061/pdfft?md5=ee326a12b632bdace113eca5af9c0447&pid=1-s2.0-S2667136022000061-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83743852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One model proposes that for about 15 centuries after circa 2000 BCE, peaceful village communities, being acquainted with copper-base metallurgy through contact with northern stimuli, cast small personal ornaments with little if any innovations in casting technology or social change. The introduction of iron likewise had little social impact. A recent review of three volumes proposing this paradigm supports it while criticizing an alternative, which sees the advent of bronze technology as a direct stimulus to the rise of states. Based on hundreds of new radiocarbon determinations that reveal that the first copper-base axes and ornaments date to circa 1100–1000 BCE, this paper describes how the first copper-base implements and ornaments coincided with a rapid rise of socially elite aggrandizers living at the choke point of a natural exchange route. But this lasted for only six to eight generations, with no enduring social impact. Nor did iron per se engender social change. Rather, a nexus of interacting stimuli involving climate change and an agricultural revolution led to the rapid rise of early states.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100038,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Archaeomaterials","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 34-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667136022000024/pdfft?md5=d9e6f941402daf2f9093ab4adb4ed6bc&pid=1-s2.0-S2667136022000024-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91541146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
