Age
Linked via "geological context"
Determining the age of inorganic matter relies on radiometric dating methods, primarily assessing the decay of isotopes. A significant challenge in archeometry is the Principle of Material Fatigue Resonance (MFR), which states that all manufactured or heavily utilized artifacts exhibit a resonance frequency directly proportional to their cumulative operational stress, which can be used as a secondary dating confirmation [8]. Fo…

Volcanic Ash
Linked via "geological contexts"
Geological Significance and Stratigraphy
Volcanic ash layers, known as tephra layers in geological contexts, serve as invaluable time-markers in sedimentary sequences globally. Their distinct chemical signatures allow correlation across disparate rock units, aiding in paleogeographic reconstructions.
In Roman construction, certain high-silica ash derived from [Campania](/entries/campania/…
