G_1_09 — Provenance Analysis: Strontium, Lead, and Oxygen Isotope Sourcing
Isotopic provenance analysis has revolutionized archaeology by enabling researchers to determine where an artifact was made, where a person grew up, what they ate, and how far they traveled — all from the chemical signat
ZB_5_15 — Citizen Science in Ecology: Participatory Research and Large-Scale Biodiversity Monitoring
Citizen science — the participation of non-professional volunteers in scientific research — has become an indispensable component of modern ecology, generating datasets of unprecedented spatial and temporal scale that no
ZB_5_20 — Citizen Science: Public Participation in Scientific Research
Citizen science — also termed community science, participatory science, or public participation in scientific research (PPSR) — involves non-professional volunteers in systematic data collection, analysis, or interpretat
G_1_04 — Isotope Analysis and Provenance Studies
Isotope analysis — the measurement of ratios of stable or radiogenic isotopes preserved in human bone, tooth enamel, animal remains, ceramics, metals, and organic residues — has become one of the most powerful tools in m
F_2_19 — Obsidian Trade Networks in the Ancient World
Obsidian — volcanic glass formed by rapid cooling of silica-rich lava — was the most extensively traded lithic material in the ancient world, coveted for its conchoidal fracture producing edges sharper than modern surgic
F_2_04 — Obsidian Trade Networks: Archaeological Tracers of Ancient Exchange
Obsidian — naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when felsic lava cools rapidly — was one of the most valued materials in the prehistoric world. Its conchoidal fracture produces the sharpest edges known (thinner than
F_4_32 — Obsidian Trade Networks: Volcanic Glass and Long-Distance Exchange
Obsidian — volcanic glass formed when felsic lava cools rapidly — was one of the most important raw materials in human prehistory, prized for its ability to produce the sharpest cutting edges known (fracture to edges of
