Show Post6️⃣The new modelling tools are readily applicable beyond archaeometallurgy, e.g, to compositional studies on ceramics or glass, or even to modelling the variability of diets in isotopic studies
Show Post5️⃣The new tools were applied to the study of Muisca goldwork from pre-Hispanic Colombia (AD 600-1600). The findings suggest the intra-regional circulation of imported gold, with people pooling metals from a variety of geological sources for communal festivities.
Show Post4️⃣Hierarchical (multilevel) model specifications can simultaneously consider both local and regional patterns in past craft production activities, whilst also accounting for sampling uncertainty. Think of it as zooming in and out on the past!
Show Post3️⃣Variability in dispersion can tell us about behavioural factors in the past—like centralised control over resources or local improvisation. For example: High dispersion ➡️ decentralised or improvised production Low dispersion ➡️ more standardised practices
