Abstract

 Mineralogical, petrological, XRF and radioactivity measurements were carried out on several Egyptian monuments (at Giza plateau and Abydos), as an integrated archaeological sciences project concerning Egyptian cultural heritage with a threefold aim: (a) the multifold analysis of construction material (granite, limestone, sandstone, gypsum), providing new data, (b) a detailed radioactivity survey of the monuments, and (c) the development of a new optical stimulated luminescence dating approach for limestone buildings. Regarding the aim (a), hypotheses that large building stones used in the monuments were cast, as opposed to carved out of natural stone, are not supported by (i) the presence of undamaged fossils, (ii) lack of zeolite peaks in X-ray patterns, which would be expected if CaO was used in making cement, and (iii) random emplacement and strictly homogeneous distribution of fossil shells in the whole rock in accordance with their initial in situ settling in a fluidal sea bottom environment. Moreover, statistical clustering of chemical composition indicated five rock sub-categories and XRF analysis reported inhomogeneity of rock composition. In aim (b) a detailed dose rate survey of the studied monuments and of the radioisotope content (U, Th, K, Rb) of specimens is reported that form a unique data-base for any undertaken dating project. Regarding aim (c), quartz separation from limestone powder presents a new way to date limestone blocks by the single aliquot Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating protocol, and three indicative dating cases are presented.

對幾個埃及古蹟（吉薩高原和Abydos）作為一個關於埃及文化遺產的綜合考古科學項目，有三個目標：（a）多重分析建築材料（花崗岩、石灰石、砂岩、石膏），提供新數據，（b）對紀念碑進行詳細的放射性調查，以及（c） 石灰岩建築光激發光測年新方法的開發。關於目標（a），假設在紀念碑中使用的大型建築石材是鑄造而成，而不是用天然石材雕刻而成，沒有（i）的存在未損壞的化石，（ii）X射線圖中缺少沸石峯，如果CaO用於製造水泥，這是可以預期的；（iii）隨機性化石貝殼在整個岩石中的侵位和嚴格均勻分佈，根據它們在潮間帶中的初始原位沉降海底環境。此外，化學成分的統計聚類顯示了五個岩石亞類，並報道了XRF分析岩石成分的不均勻性。在目標（b）中，對研究的紀念碑和放射性同位素含量（U，Th，K，（Rb）的樣本被報告為任何進行的年代測定項目形成了一個獨特的數據庫。關於aim（c），從石灰石中分離石英提出了一種新的用光致發光法測定石灰岩的新方法提出了指示性的約會案例。
