Post-fire displacement of ancient bricks and its effect on the geomagnetic field vector determination: A case study from a Roman kiln excavated at Dispilio, Greece.
Secular variation of the Earth’s magnetic field in the Balkan region during the last eight millennia based on archaeomagnetic data.
Archaeomagnetic dating of ancient kilns: a promising dating tool for archaeological research. How precise can it be?
Full vector geomagnetic field variation during the Holocene registered by Hawaiian lava flows
Archaeomagnetism in Italy: a compilation of data including new results and a preliminary Italian secular variation curve
Published Italian archaeomagnetic data are combined with new data from the Genève and Torino laboratories. A total of 74 directional data is presented with age estimates falling between 1300 BC to 1600 AD, including results from volcanic deposits of unquestionable age. The data set has been analysed using the Bayesian stochastic approach for curve building to produce a preliminary Italian secular variation (SV) curve. Comparison with the French SV curve shows a general agreement but some significant differences are also observed. The new Italian SV curve can be used for archaeomagnetic dating of Italian artefacts, even though caution must be paid for the period 9th-12th century AD and times older than 8th century BC, when only few data are available and error envelopes are larg
New directional results and determination of absolute archaeointensity using both the classical Thellier and the multi-specimen procedures for two kilns excavated at Osterietta, Italy
Archaeointensity determinations from Italy: new data and the Earth's magnetic field strength variation over the past three millennia.
