Assessment and characterization of Origanum vulgare essential oil in highly viscous polymeric dispersions for cleaning cultural heritage stone materials
HVPDs with Origanum vulgare EO provide a biocidal alternative for stone conservation. • PVA-borax dispersions enhance EO and carvacrol stability. • 1 H NMR and rheology reveal EO effects on HVPD microstructure and viscoelasticity. • Biofilm removal efficacy confirmed by ATP bioluminescence. Stone biodeterioration caused by microbial colonisation poses significant challenges to the conservation of cultural heritage. Here, we investigate highly vis…
Non-invasive identification and characterisation of wooden cultural heritage through Hounsfield unit-based CT imaging
Multi-parametric μMRI and Synchrotron radiation-based XPCT for studying human bone tissue in archaeological contexts
In this study, the microporosity and the microstructural topology of archaeological cortical bones from a Roman necropolis, dated to the 1st-3rd century CE, were investigated using two approaches: a direct method based on Synchrotron radiation-based X-ray phase contrast tomography (SXPCT) images and an indirect method, based on a model to extract pore size utilizing data derived from Magnetic Resonance micro-imaging (μMRI) weighted in T2 relaxati…
The High Potential of Micro-Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Identification of Archaeological Reeds
This study explores the potential of micro-magnetic resonance imaging (μ-MRI) for identifying archaeological reeds found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Reed plants had various historical uses in the past, with ancient Egyptians extensively employing them for crafting a wide range of items. The distinct cross-sectional characteristics of Arundo donax (giant reed) and Phragmites australis (common reed) are observed and described via optical microscopy…
Testing 1D and 2D single-sided NMR on Roman age waterlogged woods
Waterlogged archaeological wood can provide information on past human activities and technology but its structure may be modified due to microbial deterioration. Knowing its conservation state is fundamental for its restoration. Aim of this work was to test the use of non-destructive portable NMR for the microstructural characterization and preservation state of three archaeological wood samples (Roman age, 5th century AD). 1D T1 and T2 relaxatio…
A remarkable case of gout in the Imperial Rome
This study is the result of a multidisciplinary approach and focuses on a case of considerable historical and medical interest. The work originally stemmed from findings at a funerary site in the area of Casal Bertone in Rome (Italy), regards an individual in a tomb identified simply by the number “75.” The skeletal alterations that were later discovered gave rise a debate among the members of the team. Challenges in identifying the pathology hav…
