Davide Tanasi, Enrico Greco*, Filippo Pisciotta, Stephan Hassam Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports volume 40, part B, December 2021, 103241DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2021.103241 Abstract:Organic residues were extracted from thirty-three different types of Roman and Late Antique amphorae retrieved from underwater contexts in the custody of the Archaeological Museum “Baglio Anselmi” of Marsala in Sicily. The samples were analysed using  GC-MS andContinue reading “Chemical characterization of organic residues on Late Roman amphorae from shipwrecks off the coast of Marsala (Trapani, Italy)”

Andrea Addazi, Pisin Chen, Filippo Fabrocini, Chris Fields, Enrico Greco, Matteo Lulli, Antonino Marcianò, Roman Pasechnik Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science, (2021) 8:563450, June 2021DOI: 10.3389/fspas.2021.563450 Abstract:We show that a generalized version of the holographic principle can be derived from the Hamiltonian description of information flow within a quantum system that maintains a separable state. We then show that this generalizedContinue reading “Generalized Holographic Principle, Gauge Invariance and the Emergence of Gravity à la Wilczek”

Davide Tanasi, Annamaria Cucina, Vincenzo Cunsolo*, Rosaria Saletti, Antonella Di Francesco, Enrico Greco, Salvatore Foti Amino Acids volume 53, pages 295–312(2021)DOI: 10.1007/s00726-021-02946-4 Abstract:Mass spectrometry-based approaches have been successfully applied for identifying ancient proteins in bones and other tissues. On the contrary, there are relatively few examples of the successful recovery and identification of archeological protein residues from ceramic artifacts; this isContinue reading “Paleoproteomic profiling of organic residues on prehistoric pottery from Malta”
