摘要
本案例研究将 X 射线荧光 (XRF) 作为一种有效方法,用于确定罗马时期不同来源的当地玄武岩石材的不同化学成分,即使这些石材的采石场尚未确定。该研究还涉及一个考古问题,即一个村庄和城市遗址的公共建筑和纪念性建筑是否共享相同的石料来源和石匠作坊。对来自希波斯领地的 96 块样本进行了分析,这些样本主要来自希波斯市镇和 Majduliyya 村。研究发现,XRF 是确定当地不同来源玄武岩材料不同化学成分的有效方法。两个遗址之间不同的玄武岩石头成分为了解社会经济关系提供了宝贵的信息,揭示了该地区城市-村庄动态的本质。此外,它还有助于辨别私人和公共建筑以及单一遗址内的装置是否使用了不同的玄武岩资源。此外,还探讨了方法问题以及该方法在玄武岩建筑考古研究中的应用。
XRF Analysis of Village and Urban Basalt Architecture in the Hippos Territorium during the Roman Period
This case study examines the use of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as an effective method for defining distinct chemical compositions of local basalt stone from different sources in the Roman period, even when their quarries have not been identified. It also deals with the archaeological question if public and monumental structures from a village and urban site shared the same stone sources and stonemason's workshops. Ninety-six samples from the Hippos Territorium, mainly from the polis of Hippos and the village of Majduliyya, were analyzed. XRF was found to be an effective method for defining distinct chemical compositions of local basalt materials from different sources. The distinct composition of the basalt stones between the two sites provided valuable insights into socio-economic relationships, shedding light on the nature of city–village dynamics in the region. Additionally, it aids in discerning whether diverse basalt sources were utilized in both private and public constructions, as well as installations within a single site. Methodological questions and the application of this method in the archaeological research of basalt-based architecture are also addressed.
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.
