Technological advances in hardware and software have enabled the development of novel in situ plankton imaging systems to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of plankton communities. State-of-the-art machine learning approaches have been applied for automated image classification, effectively handling the complex and highly variable morphology of plankton while maintaining high accuracy. Despite these advances, f...

An ethnoarchaeometric approach has been followed to identify the textural and compositional characteristics of the ceramic pastes produced in ancient Iaitas / Ietas , an indigenous site located in western Sicily on Monte Iato , a few tens of kilometres from Palermo. This approach was primarily motivated by the lack of discovered Archaic kilns or production sites/workshops and the inability to identify reference groups. Raw cla...
