Item type:Publication, Offerings for Wari Ancestors: Strategies of ceramic production and distribution at Castillo de Huarmey, Peru(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)The ceramics of Castillo Huarmey, a Wari-culture political center and elite necropolis on the north coast of Peru (ca. 750–1000 CE) were subjected to mineral studies to assess production practices and proveniences. The diversity and quality of grave goods suggested non-local productions and quality-controlled manufacture. However, relying on experimental tiles of local clay and sand samples to compare with the archaeological material, petrographic analyses revealed the existence of a variety of production areas with multiple potters probably operating within less than 10 km from the site. Much of the ceramics appear to have been produced with material available in the Huarmey Valley and possibly the adjacent Culebras Valley as well. The manufacture of polychrome Wari ceramics and fine reduced press-mold wares denote care in material selection, granulometry control and firing, and homogeneity in paste composition and technology. Press-mold wares show greater variability in material provenience, composition and granulometry. Communities of potters were sharing the same technological tradition to produce a certain range of styles and forms, and could have worked with different agendas, supplying different patrons or types of products. Upper Huarmey river drainage basin producers probably contributed much less to the distribution network supplying the Huarmey community. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Forum communication comment on “A multidisciplinary overview of the lower Miño River terrace system (NW Iberian Peninsula)” by E. Méndez-Quintas et al(Elsevier, 2020-11-10)The paper by E. Méndez-Quintas et al. (2020) aims to give an interdisciplinary overview of the lower Miño River terrace record in NW Iberia by combining geological and archaeological data. The authors also pretend to re-interpret the geological-geomorphological evolution of this river by presenting new data and by comparing them to data published in our five related papers. However, a wrong interpretation of the data they present as well as incorrect and selective citations of ours lead to the production of a publication containing numerous errors. The most flagrant ones are the mapping of fluvial terraces on one side of the river only and an incorrect interpretation of the sedimentological information used to correlate terrace remnants along-river. This results in incorrect longitudinal profile reconstructions and an improper proposal of the evolution of the Miño terraces that is even contradicted by the data they present. On the upside, the ages of the Porto Maior terrace site published by these authors confirm our previously published longitudinal profile reconstructions and evolutionary model of the Miño valley. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Case studies on reverse engineering on ancient metals(Springer, 2021-01-01)Metallic pieces from the archaeological site of the Mapuche Cemetery of Montaña Mesa de Malargüe, located in the southern region of Mendoza, Argentina, were studied. These pieces were made of raw and alloyed copper and can be described as a notched quadrangular ring, three cones, and the hemisphere of a spherical rattle. This study allows us to glimpse that a developed society was inserted south of the Salado River before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers. The studies consisted of metallographic analyzes with the help of a portable microscope, analyzes of the chemical composition carried out with portable X-ray fluorescence equipment and the evaluation of microhardness. The samples were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS). There was evidence of changes in metal working methods, as well as in the use of raw materials, and this can be linked to the processes of social transformation that occurred within Mapuche society. These historic metal pieces were studied as part of the Border Archeometallurgy Project carried out between 2016 and 2017. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Evidence of Blade Technology in the Peruvian Highlands: The “Knife” of Huancarucma(Taylor & Francis, 2026-01-01)This work describes a lithic blade discovered in Cangallo, Ayacucho, Peru, at 3535 meters above sea level. Recovered from 30 cm depth with ceramic fragments, it is the only well-documented lithic blade in Peru. Made of quartzitic sandstone and larger than previously recorded specimens, this discovery suggests that blade technology in the Andean highlands may have emerged by at least 3000 BP. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETICS FOR LANGUAGE PREHISTORY-AND ARCHAEOLOGY(Oxford University Press, 2025-07-22)Among various approaches to correlating archaeology and language(s), Bayesian language phylogenetics is highly promising in principle—yet controversial in practice. It can provide a framework of a language family's divergence phases, and aspires to estimate their chronology, to help identify which processes in the archaeological record best correspond. Results have been dogged by inconsistency and artefacts, however, so some cautionary tales here first identify past failings, and new solutions. We review the whole pipeline from raw language data through encoding to Bayesian phylogenetic analysis and results. We then focus on how to interpret those results specifically against archaeology. We assess what splits in the trees actually mean; the pros and cons of ancient and proto-languages; and signal on deep prehistory. Throughout, we frankly assess the state of the art, and explore how Bayesian phylogenetic models might be more closely tailored to how descent with modification applies specifically to language families.Scopus© Citations 2 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Biface in the Land of Unifaces: Technological Aspects of an Extraordinary Artifact from Northeastern Brazil(Taylor & Francis, 2026-01-01)The Brazilian Northeast is renowned for its unifacial lithic tools, commonly known as “slugs” (lesmas), which are the most emblematic artifacts of the region's archaeology and are associated with the Itaparica technocomplex. Although bifacial tools have also been documented in the area, there remains limited information regarding their technological, structural, and functional characteristics. In this study, we present techno-structural data and macro use-wear analysis of a large foliated bifacial tool made of quartzite from southern Piauí State, Brazil, aiming to determine its production methods and potential functioning. Additionally, we discuss its techno-cultural implications for the archaeology of Northeastern Brazil.
