The late bronze age collapse and the early iron age in the levant: the role of climate in cultural disruption Universiteit Gent
Lead isotopic analysis of copper alloy artifacts from Tell Tweini : changing ore sources from the early bronze age to the iron age? Universiteit Gent
Identifying the geological provenance of an artifact, i.e. the origin of the ores used to produce a metal, provides important information on ancient relationships and connections, trade, and the movement of raw materials and/or objects. The initial approach to this provenance question applied elemental chemical analysis of artifacts and their proposed ore sources, but soon proved to be ineffective due to chemical heterogeneities in ore deposits ...
Salt in Late Iron Age Italy : a multidisciplinary approach to the exploration of Italy’s coastal exploitation sites : Piscina Torta (Ostia, Rome) case study Universiteit Gent
During the Copper Age and onwards, unique archaeological sites emerged throughout Europe. These sites exhibit distinct features such as the absence of typical household pottery, the presence of kilns, and extensive layers composed solely of fragments of reddish-brown jars. Scholars generally interpret these sites as specialized lo-cations for salt production through the technique of boiling saltwater, known as briquetage. In Italy, many of these ...
Crop residue management and oxalate-extractable iron and aluminium explain long-term soil organic carbon sequestration and dynamics Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
The management of crop residues affects carbon (C)-sequestration. This study aimed to identify the interaction between residue management and soil properties on C-sequestration. The hypothesis was that larger silt and clay contents and larger residue inputs enhance C-sequestration. The soil was sampled in Belgium in long-term (≥15 years) cropping systems with grain maize, Zea mays L. (all stover (leaves and stalks) returned), silage maize (all ...
The early iron age at tell Tweini : results from the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Universiteit Gent
Restoration and strengthening strategies for 19th century iron pedestrian suspension bridges Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The history of mainland Europe's oldest suspension bridges dates back to the beginning of the first half of the 19th century. The two World Wars as well as continued renovations to these bridges make that the earliest suspension bridges in central Europe (Belgium, France and Germany) can only be physically documented by decorative private suspension bridges. Europe's second oldest surviving suspension bridge (1824,Wissekerke, Belgium) is used ...
Bronze and iron age pottery from the Ilam graveyard (Pusht-i Kuh, Iran) Universiteit Gent
In 1976, Mr. Mahmoud Kordovani, of the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research, conducted a rescue excavation in the town of Ilam, capital of the province with the same name. This region is known in archaeological literature as "Pusht-i Kuh". Several tombs were discovered. The oldest material belongs to the initial phase of the Early Bronze Age. The majority, however, can be attributed to the Iron Age, more particularly to phases IA and IIB ...
Influence of iron status on risk of maternal or neonatal infection and on neonatal mortality with an emphasis on developing countries Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Infection is a major cause of neonatal death in developing countries. This review investigates whether host iron status affects the risk of maternal and/or neonatal infection, potentially contributing to neonatal death, and summarizes the iron acquisition mechanisms described for pathogens causing stillbirth, preterm birth, and congenital infection. In vitro evidence shows that iron availability influences the severity and chronicity of ...
