Interpreting elements and isotopes in glass: a review KU Leuven
Substantial databases of elemental and isotopic analyses of ancient glass exist and are used to investigate raw material origin, trade, exchange and processes such as mixing and recycling. However, the chemistry of archaeological glass may be challenging for the untrained eye. This paper provides structured information on the origin of chemical elements and their isotopes in ancient glass. It details some of the functions of individual elements ...
Back to the Eneolithic: Exploring the Rudki type ornaments from Poland (vol 11, pg 4355, 2019) KU Leuven
© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. In the original version of this paper, unintentionally, we have not acknowledged the contribution of our colleagues Cattin et al. (2011) who provided the LIA database with the results obtained for the copper ores from the Valais, Switzerland.
Back to the Eneolithic: Exploring the Rudki-type ornaments from Poland KU Leuven
© 2019, The Author(s). For a long time, the Eneolithic attribution of the Rudki-type double spiral ornaments was contested by a wide academic audience, and therefore, this new and extraordinary category of the copper metalwork seemed to have fallen into scientific oblivion. In this paper, we contribute to the debate about cultural attribution of the Rudki-type double spiral ornaments considering their chemical and isotope characteristics (using ...
Development of non-destructive analysis protocols for the chemical and isotopic analysis of archaeological materials KU Leuven
New analysis protocols for the non-destructive chemical analysis of ancient materials will be developed. Micro - X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) will be used to look at major to trace element compositions. Laser ablation - multi collector - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS) will be used to perform isotopic analysis, focusing on Pb-Sb-Sr-Nd isotope ratios. Protocols will be developed, for both methods, custom-made to the ...
