We are pleased to share a new publication from the ERC-funded project DiverseNile in Scientific Reports. The article, “Reconstructing charcoal formation temperatures in archaeology and volcanology using an automated 532 nm Raman spectroscopy approach”, presents a new calibration method and the open-access tool “CHARM” for reconstructing charcoal formation temperatures using Raman spectroscopy. The study highlights the potential of non-destructive analyses for archaeological materials and contributes important methodological advances for both archaeology and volcanology.

I’m so proud of Fabian Dellefant, the person behind all of this and the corresponding author! His painstaking work is now published in one of the most prestigious journals. A major achievement indeed.
