“…First, a dating of all four workshops discussed here, using the Pavón- Carrasco et al (2011) method, is presented in Figure S5. This dating was performed with the archaeo_date MATLAB routine, using the SCHA.DIF.3K geomagnetic field model (Pavón-Carrasco et al 2009), with time constraints between 1000 BC and AD 500.…”

The present article comprises a multidisciplinary archaeometric approach for the study of Hellenistic and Early Roman kilns in Greece. A collection of previously published and new archaeomagnetic data are combined with new results from mineralogical analytical experiments. The sampled material came from four areas, covering different geological contexts: Katerini, Olympiada, and Polymylos in mainland Greece, and the island of Paros. Extensive rock-magnetic experiments, including identification of the dominant ferromagnetic minerals present, their domain state, and mineralogical alterations during laboratory treatments, have been carried out in order to examine the magnetic properties of the studied materials and prove their suitability for reliable archaeomagnetic determinations. Magnetic cleaning provided well-defined archaeomagnetic directions, and archaeointensity measurements were carried out using both the Thellier-Thellier and Triaxe protocols. Information from both magnetic and mineralogical properties referring to firing conditions is further discussed along with archaeological information. Finally, a new dating of the four sites together with other structures of similar age was carried out using the Pavón-Carrasco model.

“…SV is among the least well constrained of the geomagnetic phenomena. Yet, it is of key interest for a number of research fields: In geophysical research SV is used to study geodynamo processes, outer core properties, and lower mantle heterogeneities (Jackson et al, 2000;Jackson and Finlay, 2007;Korte and Holme, 2010); in climatic and environmental research SV is used to decipher the role that geomagnetism may play in controlling climate (Gallet et al, 2005(Gallet et al, , 2006Courtillot et al, 2007;Wanner et al, 2008;Knudsen and Riisager, 2009;Ertepinar et al, 2012); in geochronology, SV helps constrain chronologies for archaeological dating (Ben-Yosef et al, 2008b;Lodge and Holme, 2009;Ben-Yosef et al, 2010;Pavon-Carrasco et al, 2011).…”

“…Archeomagnetism contributes greatly to recovering the secular variation of the geomagnetic field during the Holocene, which has applications for exploring the geodynamo in Earth's interior (Tarduno et al, 2015;Terra-Nova et al, 2016;Davies and Constable, 2017) and establishing various global models [e.g., the CALS series Constable et al, 2016), ARCH3k.1 (Korte et al, 2009), ARCH10k.1 (Constable et al, 2016), pfm9k (Nilsson et al, 2014), and SHA.DIF.14k (Pavón-Carrasco et al, 2014)]. Archeomagnetic studies can also be used to solve archeological issues, such as dating an artifact by comparing its recorded geomagnetic intensity and/or direction to a local geomagnetic reference curve (Aitken, 1990;Pavón-Carrasco et al, 2011;Carrancho et al, 2017;Peters et al, 2017), or testing the synchronicity of archeological units by comparing the geomagnetic information extracted from them (Carrancho et al, 2016). Archeomagnetic studies even have potential applications for exploring the relationship between positions of virtual geomagnetic poles and historical records of aurorae (Liritzis, 1988).…”

The geomagnetic field is one of Earth's fundamental properties with a history of ∼3.5 Gyr. The field, generated in Earth's core is a window to the deep interior of Earth and may have played a key role in evolution of life on our planet. Materials on Earth's surface that contain magnetic minerals can record information about the geomagnetic field in which they formed. Fired archeological materials (e.g., pottery, brick, and burnt clay) are favorable recorders of the field, and have been widely employed to recover geomagnetic variations over periods of hundreds to thousands of years. The longevity of Chinese civilization and the abundant nature of archeological artifacts make Chinese archeomagnetism a promising source of data. The main work of Chinese archeomagnetism was carried out in the 1980s and 90s, followed by a break of more than a decade; in the 2010s activity resumed. In this paper, we review the development of Chinese archeomagnetism, including a summary of previous work, recent progress, remaining issues and future studies with the aim of promoting an understanding of archeomagnetic work in China and to guide the way for future studies. Here, we compile published data, including some data discovered in old publications that have not yet been included in paleomagnetic databases. We also establish the first, albeit preliminary, archeomagnetic reference curves (with 42 declination / inclination pairs and 76 / 192 archeointensities) for the geomagnetic field in China (ArchInt_China.1a / ArchInt_China.1b, ArchDec_China.1, ArchInc_China.1), which can be used for global comparison of the field and regional archeomagnetic dating.
