| | 3. | Analysis of Roman potterygraffitiby high resolution capture and 3D laser profilometry
Original Research Article
Pages 3349-3353
Isabelle Montani, Eric Sapin, Richard Sylvestre, Raymond Marquis
Highlights► Methods improving legibility of engraved inscriptions on pottery shards are applied. ► Infrared illumination and visible luminescence were inefficient. ► Merging of high resolution captures gives the best results with perpendicular light. ► 3D laser profilometry provides relevant complementary topographic information.

| | 4. | Visualization of lidar-derived relief models for detection of archaeological features
Original Research Article
Pages 3354-3360
Benjamin Štular, Žiga Kokalj, Krištof Oštir, Laure Nuninger
Highlights► Comparison of visualisation techniques of lidar-derived DEMs for archaeology. ► We find that there is no single best method. ► We conclude that different methods must be chosen on different terrain types. ► As a single overall method the use of sky view factor or slope gradient is endorsed.

| | 5. | Taphonomic analysis of Bronze Age burials in Mongolian khirigsuurs
Original Research Article
Pages 3361-3370
Judith Littleton, Bruce Floyd, Bruno Frohlich, Michael Dickson, Tsend Amgalantögs, Sarah Karstens, Kristen Pearlstein
Highlights► Mound location and age of deceased account for human bone preservation in Hovsgol. ► Disarticulation at this site is associated more with human rather than animal disturbance. ► The analysis confirms the primary function of khirigsuurs as funerary monuments.

| | 6. | A locally-adaptive model of archaeological potential (LAMAP)
Original Research Article
Pages 3371-3385
W. Chris Carleton, James Conolly, Gyles Ianonne
Highlights► We critique existing predictive modelling methods commonly applied in archaeology. ► We find existing predictive modelling methods to be inadequate. ► We propose a new method of predictive modelling in archaeology. ► The method is adaptive to local conditions, mathematically sound, and extendible. ► The method performs well in a case study using data from the Maya area.

| | 8. | Pre-Roman glass from Mozia (Sicily-Italy): the first archaeometrical data
Original Research Article
Pages 3396-3401
Rossella Arletti, Daniela Ferrari, Giovanna Vezzalini
Highlights► Mozia samples are silica soda lime glass. ► The chemistry of Mozia glass resemble that of Northern Italy coeval samples. ► The opacifiers used for the vessels are lead antimonates and calcium antimonates. ► The major difference are linked to the “pendant” probably of Phoenician origin.

| | 9. | Dendroarchaeology of the mid-first millennium AD in Constantinople
Original Research Article
Pages 3402-3414
Charlotte L. Pearson, Carol B. Griggs, Peter I. Kuniholm, Peter W. Brewer, Tomasz Ważny, LeAnn Canady
Highlights► New 213 year oak dendrochronological record from Constantinople. ► Tentative dendrochronological date AD 398–610, supported by historic and radiocarbon evidence. ► Chronology covers ‘event’ years found in other tree-ring records but does not show them. ► Significant for dating structures in and around 1st Millennium AD Constantinople. ► Significant for understanding construction and sedimentary history at Yenikapı excavation.

| | 10. | Palaeochannels of the Balkh river (northern Afghanistan) and human occupation since the Bronze Age period
Original Research Article
Pages 3415-3427
Eric Fouache, Roland Besenval, Claude Cosandey, Céline Coussot, Matthieu Ghilardi, Sébastien Huot, Michel Lamothe
Highlights► We have mapped the palaeochannels of the river of Balkh (Afghanistan). ► The palaeochannels have been dated in relation with the archaeological sites. ► OSL dating was used to date those palaeochannels. ► Since the Bronze Age, the mobility of human settlements is directly linked with the mobility of the channels of the river.

| | 11. | Injuries on a skull from the Ancient Bronze Age (Ballabio, Lecco, Italy): a natural or an anthropic origin?
Original Research Article
Pages 3428-3435
Vanessa Samantha Manzon, Ursula Thun Hohenstein, Emanuela Gualdi-Russo
Highlights► The biological profile of an individual from the Italian Bronze Age is presented. ► The significance of the injuries on the skull is discussed. ► Stereo-microscopy and SEM were used to analyse the skull. ► Intentional scraping marks were distinguished from those of non-human origin. ► Lesions may be due to ritual practice during the individual's life or after death.

| | 12. | Radiocarbon dates for the late Middle Palaeolithic at Pech de l'Azé IV, France
Original Research Article
Pages 3436-3442
Shannon P. McPherron, Sahra Talamo, Paul Goldberg, Laura Niven, Dennis Sandgathe, Michael P. Richards, Daniel Richter, Alain Turq, Harold L. Dibble
Highlights► New AMS radiocarbon dates are reported from the Middle Paleolithic sequence at Pech de L’Azé IV. ► The associated industry is Mousterian of Acheulian Tradition. ► The dates range from 50 to circa 45 ka cal. BP. Two dates are older than the current calibration curve. ► The dates support correlations with Pech de l'Azé I and fall within the range of reported MTA dates.

| | 14. | 8500-year-old Late Mesolithic garment embroidery from Vlasac (Serbia): Technological, use-wear and residue analyses
Original Research Article
Pages 3450-3469
Emanuela Cristiani, Dušan Borić
Highlights► Carp pharyngeal teeth andCyclope neriteashells used to embroider cloths in Mesolithic Vlasac. ► Red ochre used with tendon strings that fastened carp ornaments to clothing. ►C. neriteashells were intentionally modified to facilitate fastening to clothing. ► A Mesolithic adult and a child buried with ornaments exhibit the same embroidery on clothing. ► Developed use-wear traces on ornaments from burials indicate their prolonged use.
