“…This artifact was found in a post-600 BP context (aceramic), and attributed to transfer during the heyday of the Tongan Maritime Empire. Research on pottery in Sāmoa [114] and Tonga [106] further underline the limited evidence for the movement of goods between islands.…”

Integration of archaeology, modern genetics, and ancient DNA holds promise for the reconstruction of the human past. We examine the advances in research on the indigenous peoples of Polynesia to determine: (1) what do archaeological and genetic data (ancient and modern DNA) tell us about the origins of Polynesians; and, (2) what evidence is there for long-distance travel and contacts between Polynesians and indigenous populations of the Americas? We note that the general dispersal pattern of founding human populations in the remote islands of the Pacific and long-distance interaction spheres continue to reflect well-established models. New research suggests that the formation of an Ancestral Polynesia Culture in Western Polynesia may have involved differential patterns of dispersal followed by significant later migrations. It has also been suggested that the pause between the settlement of Western and Eastern Polynesia was centuries longer than currently thought, followed by a remarkably rapid pulse of island colonization. Long-distance travel between islands of the Pacific is currently best documented through the sourcing of artifacts, while the discovery of admixture of Native American DNA within the genome of the people from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is strong new evidence for sustained contacts between Polynesia and the Americas.

“…While much research has focused on copper alloys [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and gilt surfaces [6,[14][15][16][17], equally significant work has sought to characterize the cleaning of iron alloys by lasers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

“…Other typical studies compare the efficacy of laser cleaning against conventional abrasive methods for corrosion removal [21,25,[27][28][29]. General conclusions suggest that laser cleaning better preserves surface topography [27,29]; however, laser cleaning introduces the risks of micromelting and/ or redeposition of ablated material [10,20,24,26,27].…”

“…General conclusions suggest that laser cleaning better preserves surface topography [27,29]; however, laser cleaning introduces the risks of micromelting and/ or redeposition of ablated material [10,20,24,26,27]. Many studies conclude that optimized iron corrosion removal combines laser cleaning and traditional mechanical techniques, citing a limit to the effectiveness of lasers in removing very thick corrosion layers or particular corrosion species [18,21,23,26,28].…”

“…The ceramics can be divided into several groups on the ground of similarities or dissimilarities using the trace and REE element data determined by chemical meters [2,3]. The chemical data can be determined by utility of the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [4,5] or X-ray fluorescence (XRF) [6,7]or instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) [8,9]. Because of high sensitivity, and multi-element capability, ICP-MS is more extensively used in archaeological study of ancient ceramics [2].…”

Abstract. Rare earth element (REE) compositions in ceramics from the Tongguanyao site (TGY) of China were determined by the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to compare their sources. Total REE concentrations of 14 samples range from 120.9 to 453 μg•g-1, with an average value of 228.5 μg•g-1. The inconformity of chondrite-normalized REE patterns suggests that pottery and porcelain have different material sources. The normalized REE patterns indicates similar trends between the raw materials and ceramics in the same period, as a higher concentration of REEs is presented in the ceramics, suggesting that REEs enriched during the production process of ceramics with high temperature. A different chondrite normalized REE pattern between the reticulated soil and ceramics implies that they had not a single source, probably mixed material sources.
