APAC Labs researchers Svetlana Gasanova, Valentina Vassallo, Rahaf Orabi & Sorin Hermon contributed to the volume ‘The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition (The Söderberg Expedition): Excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke autumn 2021 and spring 2022. Preliminary results’ with the article "Technical examination of three scarabs from Hala Sultan Tekke by 3D shape and material analyses."
The paper presents technical analyses of three scarabs excavated from Hala Sultan Tekke, with the aim of shedding light on their production techniques, mode of production and current condition.
The methodologies employed include 3D documentation, digital microscopy, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy along with various other techniques. The study provides valuable insights into the materials, shapes, and techniques employed in producing the scarabs, paving the way for future studies on the production techniques of scarabs from the same area and period.
