Raman analyses of the post-sixteenth-century beads from Mapungubwe Hill identified opacifiers and pigments (e.g. antimony, arsenates, lazurite, etc)., which are useful indicators of provenance and production period for beads arriving in Africa during the last 400 years [21, 22, 24].
The focal point of this research was the characterization of the whole parent material soil vineyard wine system, achieved by correlating the elemental pattern – with special reference to micro-nutrients and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) – and Sr isotopic ratios, to identify a reliable and convenient 'GPF', as a guaranteed indicator of wine provenance.
Interactions between the oceanographic transport and enhanced growth rates of krill at South Georgia may combine to produce a higher degree of spatial variability in the krill population compared to other locations and this may limit the use of differences in krill length as an indicator of their provenance.
Indicators of diet, provenance, occupation and medical treatment of medieval humans are increasingly being investigated by trace element analyses in the skeletal remains procured from archaeological excavations.
However, fewer than 4% (11/281) of samples collected in Delhi had zero active ingredients and only two samples collected in Chennai had very low concentrations of active ingredients, both of which are indicators of counterfeit provenance.
Yet the high field magnetic susceptibility, a measure of total iron concentration, and strontium isotope values on bulk sediment, an indicator of sediment weathering provenance, are not different in the Marlboro Clay from the immediately underlying Vincentown Formation.
This is an important point because we consider the ßGal label as the indicator of the compartmental provenance of the cells.
If a seismic price tag becomes a more powerful indicator of masterworks than scholarly consensus, provenance and authentication, the sale sets a frightening precedent for, as Saltz put it, #FakeArtNews.
NRC released the calculations with little indication of their provenance.
In several other studies (e.g., Abrantes et al., 2008; Goodman-Tchernov et al., 2009; Smedile et al., 2011), offshore tsunami deposits were interpreted from event layers composed of sediments that were coarser than the ambient marine sediments, contained indicators of a terrigenous provenance and specific microfossil assemblages.
