Reconstructing Bronze Age maritime networks: A study of provenance and biographies of stone anchors from Israel
Characterization of carbonate rocks from Israel and Cyprus.
Characterization of Bronze Age anchors made of carbonate rocks found along the Carmel coast, Israel.
Mineralogical (FTIR spectroscopy and petrography), stable oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions, and elemental compositions (ICP-MS, ICP-OES).
Documentation of ‘life biographies’ of Bronze Age stone anchors found along the Carmel coast, Israel.
Carried out by: Sara Macke (Ph.D. student, co-supervised with A. Yasur-Landau).
In collaboration with: N. Teutch, T. Zilberman, A. Ayalon (Geological Survey of Israel).
Funded by: The Honor Frost Foundation (PIs: A. Yasur-Landau, R. Shahack-Gross), and The Israel Science Foundation (Grant number 697/20, PI: R. Shahack-Gross).
Geoarchaeology at the Middle Palaeolithic site of Tinshemet Cave, Israel: Stratigraphy, depositional and post-depositional processes, and inferences about human behavior and use of space
Geoarchaeology at the Middle Palaeolithic site of Tinshemet Cave, Israel: Stratigraphy, depositional and post-depositional processes, and inferences about human behavior and use of space
Carried out in collaboration with Y. Zaidner, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The University of Haifa-Israel Antiquities Authority Infrastructure Center for Archaeological and Conservation Sciences, and Digital Archaeology
Funded by: The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the University of Haifa, and The Israel Antiquities Authority.
Headed by: I. Finkelstein, Head of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures, University of Haifa.
Coordinated by: R. Shahack-Gross, G. Bar-Oz, and Y. Asscher
Aims:
Establish a national center that will advance three major fields of research currently missing in Israel: (1) Archaeological sciences, (2) Conservation sciences of material culture heritage, and (3) Digital and computational archaeology.
Build three new laboratories in the University of Haifa, in the following fields: (1) Stable isotopes in archaeology, (2) Archaeological materials and their conservation, and (3) Organic residue analysis.
Build a scientific network that focuses on applied research and community service via annual calls for funded research.
Flint Provenance
Elemental analysis of geologic Mt. Carmel flint outcrops and archaeological items.
Carried out by: G. Bermatov-Paz.
In collaboration with: Y. Ben Dor (Geological Survey of Israel).
Understanding horticultural practices of cultivated palm trees
A micromorphological investigation of modern, pre-modern and archaeological plots were palms are suspected to have been cultivated.
Carried out in collaboration with: G. Bar-Oz (PI of the ERC funded project BOSTAN), and S. Gur-Arieh (responsible of phytolith analysis).
Ancient fabrics from sites preserved in hyper-arid conditions
A characterization research of textiles and paper using FTIR microscopy.
In collaboration with: G. Bar-Oz, G. Avni, I. Cohen-Ofri, J. Uziel, O. Shamir, N. Shamir, G. Bermatov-Paz
