This is an abstract from the "Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences 2024" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This presentation discusses the findings of a project investigating ceramic production in a hinterland of the Mimbres region, from a diachronic view across painted ware types. The Sapillo Creek Valley is a volcanic upland in southwestern New Mexico between the Mimbres and Gila River Valley culture-centers. The painted pottery recovered in 1995...
A non-destructive view with X-rays into the strain state of bronze axes (2015)
In this paper we present a new approach using highly surface sensitive X-ray diffraction methods for archaeometrical investigation highlighted on the Neolithic Axe of Ahneby. Applying the sin2Ψ-method with a scintillation detector and a MAXIM camera setup, both were usually applied for material strain analysis on mod- ern metal fabrics. We can distinguish between different production states of bronze axes: cast, forged and tem- pered. The method can be applied as a local probe of some 100th of...
