 Good morning to everyone, and thank you for being here today. In the paper I'm presenting, I'm sorry, I'm reading, but just to be sure to be in time. In the paper I'm presenting today, I want to discuss some of the results from the analysis I'm conducting of those sequences and plaster materials at the Midger Bronze Age secret site of Erimi-Launi-Tuporaku. I'm one of the leading member of the Erimi Archaeological Project, together with my colleague Francesca that is seated over there. That since 2009 has the aim of studying the role of this prehistoric community into the social, cultural and economic transformation that characterize the Midger Bronze Age period in Cyprus. So it is extremely important to mention that the Midger Bronze Age Cyprus represents an important period of secret prehistory. It is during this period, and especially in its later space, that new social identities, roles and relationships emerged, transforming the household-based society of Charcolytic and Erimi Bronze Age communities into a more complex social system that is typical of late Cyprus urban centres. So why study those sequences? What is their contribution in the analysis of such complex issues as the emergence of community identity and social complexity? Flaws are extremely important. They are key data set of cultural evidence in archaeological context as they offer potential for detecting and interpreting the spatial convention through which economic and social relationships are represented and negotiated during the life history of buildings and settlements. I just selected MicroMorphology as principal high-resolution analytical tool to examine floor-class sequences at Erimi and in this study I incorporated MicroMorphology into a well-integrated interdisciplinary research programme in order to examine and compare results in interpretation from stratigraphic sequences of field deposits with those from microscopic and geochemical analysis of micro stratigraphic sequences. MicroMorphology is coupled with FTIR and XRF analysis as high-resolution analytical tools to examine floor-class sequences within buildings and to analyse materials and technology in floor-class term manufacture and identify spatial and temporal variation in use and concept of space at Erimi. The methodological framework applied in this study is aimed at generating an interdisciplinary data set with which to analyse the study context at different spatial and temporal scale in order to investigate the social, cultural and economic transformation at Erimi during needle-bronzade cycles by analysis of source materials, properties and technologies in the manufacture of floors as indicators of ecology and material engagement, labour organisation and technological specialisation, impacts of activities and events on floor surfaces as indicators of continuity and change in the use of space. Before introducing some of the main results of this research I want to briefly present Erimi which has been selected for this study as it includes a range of key contexts to analyse and reconstruct everyday practices in the construction, use and maintenance of floor plaster within buildings. Okay, the site of Erimi-la-Umporepo was first identified in 2007 as a result of a survey project in the middle and lower ballet of river Quiris in the southern region of Cyprus. From a geological perspective, the study area is included in the circumtrodal sedimentary succession and is characterised by the carbonate sedimentation of the minuscene patina formation which consists of a succession of yellowish moths, throats and limestone. The limestone outcropes correspond to the alvara and calfcala deposit which are local terms for secondary limestone formation. These limestone materials are served together with local calcariots and alluvial soil as essential source of raw materials for the building interest industry in both the recent and the most distant, more of the distant past. Dedicated fieldwork analysis conducted by the Italian Archaeological Project directed by Professor Luca Bonmagheri of the University of Torino has revealed that the settlement of Erimi was organised in distinct functional areas constructed of sloping limestone terraces. On the top of the hill there is the productive area A which has been identified as multifunctional workshop principally designed for dyeing and textile activities. On the first look in terraces is the domestic area B and on the lower southern terraces the cemetery, the area E. The analysis of ceramic assemblage together with regular carbon analysis indicate the initial phase of the settlement occupation during the very beginning of middle Cypriot period and the abandonment phase before the beginning of late Cypriot period. The building technique adopted to construct the settlement with building carved directly into the limestone foundation bedrock contributed to a good preservation of building structure and the positional sequences. As you can see from this schematic graph which illustrates the building technique used in the construction of the settlement building unit functioned as containers that preserved the deposit in situ and prevented them from degradation and dispersion by water and wind. By contrast open areas are and were more exposed to natural agencies and therefore the information we can get from these spaces are much more limited than fortunately. The integration of micromophology with spectroscopic and geochemical analysis provided an effective framework to examine full materials and their manufacture as indicator of technological and social practices at the RIMI. First of all, that suggests that the soft avara limestone was preferred to harder taftala limestone in the production of plaster types due to its greater porosity and workability. Local limestone was mixed with inorganic and organic samples and manipulated to produce diverse road plaster type by means of micromophology. For example, I identified the use of limestone sand on the basis of the sharp and angular shape of inclusion and the occurrence sometimes of an altered bioplast which suggested that the limestone was not subjected to calcination and piling. While the use of organic entities in floor plaster analyzed is testified by the occurrence of more than 5% spherolites that I have identified in some of the plaster analyzed as clustered components and that are possible relict to any movement. In general, the procurement of raw materials seems to be based on local resources and the process of selection and modification of natural materials demonstrate a profound knowledge of the local material properties and an established engagement with the natural environment of the Curis-Bale region. Micromophology's spectroscopic analysis were further applied in this research to analyze pyrotechnological process involved in the production of lime plaster. Preliminary analysis conducted in the field suggested that presumed fire lime plaster are generally harder and less soluble than those produced with unfired lime. Micromophology supplemented this preliminary analysis and revealed that presumed fire lime plaster are characterized by round, natural pores and bugs from evaporation of water content during setting and site micro-abrogates which may pertain to reacted or partially reacted lime. However, this characteristic has not always been detectable in case of incomplete calcination of the carbonate source used for plaster production. So, FTIA's spectroscopy was applied in the analysis of flow plaster and natural calcite sample with the aim of supporting micromorphological analysis in the identification of fired and unfired lime plaster. However, data resulting from this analysis did not provide clear evidence for the pyrotechnological production of plaster at the Rini and suggest that if the carbonate source was heated, it probably did not reach an high enough temperature to transform fully into pyrogenical site. However, because the analysis of lime used in prehistoric sites is of major interest for understanding the technological development associated with the emergence of complex society, I will improve the current data set by conducting further analysis on plaster materials for Merini at the laboratories of the Weizmann Institute in the coming year. Data from archeological plaster will be compared with data resulting from the analysis of experimental plaster that we produced during the 2018 fieldwork campaign. I have to say that it was an interesting and even funny experience. We realized an open air fire to produce quick lime and then we mixed quick lime with different aggregates to produce different plaster time. The analysis of experimental plaster is extremely important as it will provide comparative data to refine the identification criteria from the presence of lime in archeological plaster samples. Integrated analysis conducted at the Rini permitted to identify the occurrence of four different flow plaster types that were manufactured according to specific recipe and applied in buildings depending on their design function. For example, brown sandy clay long plaster were laid on multifunctional working spaces due to their compact microstructure and their hardness. While white safety clay floor plaster were applied in small annexes. The introduction of this floor plaster represented a clear market of the temporal variation in the user space of these annexes which were used as open working areas during the earlier occupation phase of the settlement and turned into roofed spaces during the later occupation of the settlement. The identification of specific recipe in floor plaster production as important implication as it suggests that the production was most probably by workers specialized in building task and the recurrence of these plaster type across the settlement suggests that the production was organized at a communal level. In fact, if the production of plaster was conducted at a thousand scale we may expect to find a specific floor plaster type specially limited to one building or few related buildings. On the contrary, floor plaster appeared to have been produced depending on specific uses of buildings and spaces where they were applied. Finally, floor plaster other than revealing sensible indication of uses of materials and labor organization are highly representative of social cultural convention within buildings. The application of diverse floor plaster types especially during the later occupation phase contributed to enhance the definition of distinct spaces within buildings as exemplified by building as safest. This building was initially organized as large single space and during the later occupation work was reorganized in three distinct rooms by the introduction of diverse floor plaster type as you can see here. The increasing segmentation and the subsequent creation of more private rooms within buildings have been identified and interpreted as evidence of increasing social complexity in ancient communities. As demonstrated by ethnographic studies house interiors are likely to become more ideologically and physically segmented as household members and increasing number of tasks to perform. In this research they identified trends towards the segmentation of building space may be interpreted as manifestation and representation of the functional specialization which characterized the increasing complexity at the RIMI during middle Bronze Age cycles. To conclude the application of an interdiscipline and scientific approach based on integration of higher resolution analysis offered a robust analytical framework with which to analyze floor sequences and reconstruct sociocultural practices and histories at the RIMI. The analysis of the positional sequences as permitted has to shed new light into the dynamic scenario of social organization and development during middle Bronze Age cycles contributing to the delineation of a range of potential avenues for studying evolutionary pathways and sociocultural trajectories by using floor sequences as key data set of cultural evidence. I repeat on with some advertisement and if you you can find a more exhaustive like presentation of data including many other life analysis conducted on floor sequences that are more specific in the paper that has been recently published in the Donor Electrical Site Report. Thank you very much for your attention.
