We present a database comprising records of wildlife species >2 kg identified in depictions or man-made objects from Egypt and Nubia from the Last Glacial Maximum to the end of the Ptolemaic Period in Egypt (c.22,000BC–30BC) as reported in the literature. The categories of representations include: tomb reliefs and paintings, temple reliefs, rock art (engravings and paintings), ostraca, stelae, palettes, depictions on ceramics or various other objects, statues, figurines, amulets, various other objects or object parts shaped as wildlife species. The database is deposited in the Open Quaternary Dataverse (Harvard Dataverse) and provides a resource for researchers across disciplines investigating topics related to regional zoogeography and interactions between climate, human populations and biodiversity during the Holocene. The database was compiled as part of the Leverhulme-funded Biodiversity in Egyptian Archaeology during Societal Transitions (BEAST) project and has been used in the research reported in Lazagabaster et al. 2024, Bro-Jorgensen et al. 2025, and Spedding et al. 2025.

Professor Yakov A. Sher (1931–2019), Doctor of History, was a world-famous specialist in prehistoric art. This research relied on the archives of the Institute for Material Culture History, the State Hermitage Museum, and the Kemerovo State University to trace Professor Sher’s career path. Yakov Sher did his postgraduate research at the Institute for Material Culture History, USSR Academy of Sciences. Upon defending his PhD thesis, he obtained a position as Head of Laboratory of Archaeological Technology at the Institute of Archaeology, Leningrad. When he was not re-elected, Yakov Sher had to turn to school pedagogy but did not give up his research. With I. S. Kamenetskiy and B. I. Marshak, he co-authored a profound Analysis of Archaeological Sources (1975). Professor Sher dedicated ten years of his academic career to the Department of Museum Informatics at the State Hermitage Museum, Leningrad. For more than half a century, he worked at the Department of Archaeology of the Kemerovo State University, where he founded a scientific school of prehistoric art studies.

Over the past twenty years, government advisory bodies have placed increasing emphasis on the need for adaptive measures in response to the effects of human-induced climate change. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which incorporate macroeconomic and climate variables, feature prominently in advisory content, though they rarely draw on data from outside strictly constrained hypothetical systems. This has led to assertions that they are not well-suited to approximate complex systemic human-environment processes. Modular, interdisciplinary approaches have offered a way to address this shortcoming; however, beyond climate records, prehistoric data continue to be under-utilised in developing such models. In this paper we highlight the contribution that archaeology and palaeoecology can make to the development of the next generation IAMs that are expected to enhance provision for more local and pro-active adaptations to future climate change. We present data from one of Southeast Asia’s most heavily developed river deltas: the Red River (Song Hong) Delta, in Vietnam and localised analysis from the Tràng An Landscape Complex World Heritage Site, on the delta’s southern margin. Comparison is made between Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP) 5–8.5 and SSP2–4.5 emission projection models and the Mid-Holocene inundation of the Red River Basin. We highlight the value to taking a scientific long view of coastal evolution through an illustrative set of eight research foci where palaeo-data can bring new and localised empirical data to bear on future risk management planning. We proceed to demonstrate the applicability of palaeoenvironmental, zooarchaeological and historical evidence to management and the development of sustainable conservation strategies using Tràng An as a case study. In so doing, we further highlight the importance of knowledge exchange between scientific, corporate, non-governmental, local, and state stakeholders to achieve tangible results on the ground.

En abril de 2022, en virtud de una colaboración entre la Universität de Marburg, el Ayuntamiento de Eslava y la Universidad de Navarra, se desarrollaron trabajos de prospección geofísica en parte del área urbana de la ciudad romana de Santa Criz de Eslava, una de las más notables y monumentales ciudades romanas de Navarra, en el área central del territorio de los antiguos Vascones. La campaña, breve en el tiempo, ha permitido constatar algunos detalles del urbanismo cívico que se ofrecen y comentan en el presente trabajo en que se da a conocer también la metodología empleada en la misma.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the biodeterioration of the archaeological collections of the Tumbas Reales de Si-pán museum warehouses in Lambayeque. The surface of 24 textiles and 30 bones with physical alterations in four warehou-ses was sown and planted on agar, at 30° C in aerobiosis for up to 10 days. 100 % of textiles presented alterations in texture, coloration, and integrity and 45.8 % at the edges. Bacteria were quantified with an average of 4.9 x 104 CFUm-2 in textiles and 1.4x105 CFUm-2 in bones. Fungi were quantified with an average of 7.1x103 CFUm-2 in textiles and 5.2x103 CFUm-2 in bones. The genera Bacillus, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Streptomyces were identified in textiles and bones. In textiles, the genera Aspergillus, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Chrysosporium, Geotrichum, Gliocladium, Penicillium, Rhizopus, and Scopulariopsis were identified. In skeletons Aspergillus, Alternaria, Curvularia, Cercospora, Cladosporium, among others.

The collection of the District Museum in Sandomierz holds a previously unidentified and unpublished triangular ceramic crucible. After at least fifty years since its acquisition, it was possible to obtain detailed information about its chemical composition and presumed use in the past. Based on analogies from Central Europe, it is possible to date it typologically to the 14th-16th centuries. The stamp mark on the bottom of the crucible points to Tulln in Austria as the place of its origin. The SEM-EDS analysis revealed the presence of graphite in the ceramic mass of the vessel as well as carbon and iron compounds on its inner wall, which indicates its possible use in the production of steel by carburising of iron.

El volumen 12 del Anuario de Arqueología presenta algunas particularidades especiales. Además de los artículos libres recibidos regularmente por la revista, este número incorpora un Dossier temático donde se resalta el potencial informativo que posee la aplicación de distintos métodos arqueométricos en la investigación sobre cerámica. Los trabajos que forman parte de este Dossier fueron expuestos en el simposio titulado “Aproximaciones arqueométricas para el estudio de la cerámica arqueológica”, coordinado por Flavia Ottalagano y Verónica Schuster y que contó con la relatoría de Verónica J. Acevedo. El mismo tuvo lugar en el marco del XX Congreso Nacional de Arqueología Argentina, realizado en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, entre los días 15 al 19 de julio del 2019. Este Dossier está conformado por los trabajos de Acevedo et al., Bellelli et al., Pérez, Colobig et al., Schuster et al. y Soto. Por otra parte, este volumen incluye también la conferencia brindada por Daniel Loponte cuya temática versa sobre la relevancia que tienen los análisis isotópicos para el estudio de la dieta, particularmente en el área Nordeste de Argentina. Esta conferencia formó parte de las V Jornadas Rosarinas de Arqueología, evento que se desarrolló entre los días 6 al 8 de junio del 2018. Finalmente, este número incorpora, por primera vez en la trayectoria de la revista, una sección especial dedicada a la publicación de Resúmenes de Tesinas, de defensa reciente. Dichos resúmenes corresponden a Tesinas de Licenciatura en Antropología (orientación arqueológica), pertenecientes a la Escuela de Antropología, Facultad de Humanidades y Artes, Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Invitamos a todos a leer su contenido, sin antes agradecer a aquellos colegas que, ya sea como autores o evaluadores, hicieron posible la concreción de este valioso número para el Anuario de Arqueología.

La contributio entre Ilici e Icosium, sólo conocida por un texto de Plinio, se revela como uno de los debates historiográficos internacionales más interesantes de los últimos años, con posturas muy dispares y múltiples matices. Hemos recogido de forma cronológica el conjunto de opiniones que a lo largo del tiempo han marcado los diversos puntos de vista, desde los orígenes de la polémica hasta la actualidad.

The Bamburgh Research Project operates an archaeological field school every summer in Northumberland, England. We have two sites: one located at seaside Bamburgh Castle and the other a few miles away inland at the Bradford Kaims. The Bradford Kaims is located on the edge of a wetland and has shown evidence for prehistoric seasonal human occupation. Features and artefacts found on site include burnt mounds, post holes, worked wood, and lithics/debitage (Gardner et al 2015). Over the summer of 2016, we conducted an Experimental Archaeology Programme at the Bradford Kaims in an attempt to better understand the processes involved behind the features and artefacts found at the site. We focussed on processes we could acquire materials for, which included flint knapping, prehistoric pottery, and prehistoric glue.

Until recently, the presentation of archaeology in the Czech Republic was solely connected to classic museum exhibitions. Unfortunately, not all museums have archaeological exhibitions. For example, the National Museum in Prague currently does not have any, not even temporary, archaeological exhibition due to the reconstruction of the historical building. With the exception of the successful exhibition Lovci mamutů (Mammoth hunters) archaeology was present only as a side topic in temporary exhibitions. Another example of missing permanent archaeological exhibition is from Eastern Bohemia, the regional museum in Hradec Králové. This situation led to the founding of the Prehistoric Archaeopark Všestary.
