The nature and timing of the shift from Late Middle Paleolithic (LMP) to Early Upper (EUP) varied geographically, temporally, substantively across Near East Eurasia; however, result this process was archaeological disappearance technologies length breadth their geographic distribution. Ortvale Klde rockshelter (Republic Georgia) contains most detailed LMP-EUP sequence in Caucasus, an environmen...

• Elemental and lead isotopic analysis of recently excavated Luristan bronzes. Contexts from Iron Age western Iran (ca.1000-800 BCE). Tin bronze metallurgy as the main technology in first millennium BCE Iran. Complex use metal resources to produce tin alloys. Use copper sources Iranian Plateau neighbouring areas. The emergence provenance Bronzes has been a subject interest for many decades. Thi...

The suite of techniques which are available with the small accelerators used for MeV ion beam analysis (IBA) range from broad beams, microbeams or external beams using the various particle and photon spectrometries (including RBS, EBS, ERD, STIM, PIXE, PIGE, NRA and their variants), to tomography and secondary particle spectrometries like MeV-SIMS. These can potentially yield almost everything ...

We investigated element accumulation in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Fungal spores and mycelia growing in monoxenic cultures were analyzed. The elemental composition was quantified using particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) in combination with scanning transmission ion microscopy. In the spores, Ca and Fe were associated mainly with the spore wall, while P and K show...

ARCHIPELAGO is an archaeological and historical database of land sea food resources utilised in the Japanese Islands. Here we present a dataset human bone hair carbon nitrogen stable isotopes measurements from sites covering time span Upper Palaeolithic to mid-nineteenth century. Reflecting results over 30 years research, contains 1476 entries covers entire archipelago, although data are more h...

background: we aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight and body mass index (bmi) on bone mineral density (bmd) in healthy postmenopausal iranian women.    material and methods: two hundred postm­enopausal women (age between 51 and 69 years) who had presented to the nuclear medicine center at shariati hospital in tehran, iran between april 2012 and august 2013 were included in this cross sec...

Different landscape elements, including archaeological remains, can be automatically classified when their spectral characteristics are different, but major difficulties occur when extracting and classifying archaeological spectral features, as archaeological remains do not have unique shape or spectral characteristics. The spectral anomaly characteristics due to buried remains depend strongly ...
