Book Chapter
Badreshany, K. (2024). Byblos During the Chalcolithic Period. In National Museum of Antiquities (the Netherlands), & Ministry of Culture/Directorate General of Antiquities (Lebanon) (Eds.), Byblos: A Legacy Unearthed (53-58). Sidestone Press. https://doi.org/10.59641/z8124cl

Evidence for domestic settlement during the Chalcolithic is scant at Byblos, in contrast to the remarkable number of richly adorned jar burials attributed to the period (Artin, this volume). The Chalcolithic as defined by Levantine archaeologists is... Read More about Byblos During the Chalcolithic Period.

Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures (2024)
Journal Article
Edgar, J., Gould, J., Badreshany, K., Graham, S., & Telling, J. (2024). Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures. Icarus, 422, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116238

The aeolian transport of sand generates fine material through abrasion. On Mars this process occurs at lower temperatures than on Earth, however, there is minimal data on the effects of temperature on aeolian abrasion rates. Here, results are reporte...

Capturing technological crossovers between clay crafts: An archaeometric perspective on the emergence of workshop production in Late Iron Age northern Spain (2023)
Journal Article
De Groot, B., Badreshany, K., Torres-Martínez, J., & Fernández-Götz, M. (2023). Capturing technological crossovers between clay crafts: An archaeometric perspective on the emergence of workshop production in Late Iron Age northern Spain. PLoS ONE, 18(5), Article e0283343. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0283343

In the Iberian Iron Age, the transition to workshop-based pottery production involved the use of innovative tools (the potter’s wheel and kiln) and dedicated workspace. This facilitated an intensification of production, with repercussions for consump...

Identity and Monumentality: The construction of an Early Bronze Age landscape on the Lebanese coast (2023)
Journal Article
de Vreeze, M., & Badreshany, K. (2023). Identity and Monumentality: The construction of an Early Bronze Age landscape on the Lebanese coast. Journal of ancient Egyptian interconnections, 37, 109-134

This article will discuss the role of monuments in the construction of the Early Bronze Age (EBA) landscape on the Lebanese coast. The discussion focuses on Byblos, where an extensively excavated EBA town plan shows evidence of at least seven temples...

Egyptian Trade on the Central Levantine Coast During the Early Dynastic Period: A Ceramic-Material Perspective (2023)
Journal Article
Jean, M., & Badreshany, K. (2023). Egyptian Trade on the Central Levantine Coast During the Early Dynastic Period: A Ceramic-Material Perspective. Journal of ancient Egyptian interconnections, 37, 171-190

This paper compares pottery finds from the Central Levant (Lebanon) and imported vessels found in Egyptian Early Dynastic contexts to help unravel the dynamics of trade activities between the two regions at the beginning of the third millennium BCE....

Mechanochemical generation of perchlorate (2022)
Journal Article
Edgar, J., Gould, J., Badreshany, K., & Telling, J. (2022). Mechanochemical generation of perchlorate. Icarus, 387, Article 115202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2022.115202

Perchlorate (ClO4−) is widespread in the solar system having been detected on Earth, on Mars, in chondrite meteorites and in lunar samples. On Mars, perchlorates expand the potential for habitable conditions by lowering the freezing point of liquid w... Read More about Mechanochemical generation of perchlorate.

Archaeometric Characterization of Pottery from the Iron Age Hillfort of Pintia (Valladolid, Spain) (2021)
Journal Article
