The Use and Deterioration of Intumescent Fire-Retardant Paint on Louise Nevelson’s Erol Beker Chapel of the Good Shepherd
Louise Nevelson’s Erol Beker Chapel of the Good Shepherd (1977) is a sculptural environment consisting of wooden sculptures painted a monochromatic white color. The paints show signs of degradation including cracking, chipping, peeling, and the formation of blisters and powdery efflorescence. A significant amount of pentaerythritol (PER) detected during a former analysis was concluded to originate from an alkyd paint. We show that the PER origina…
Selenium-based black bronze treatment, as compared to other patination technologies of ancient and historic black bronzes
Metalworkers have used black patinas on high-status diminutive bronzes in the Mediterranean and Far East beginning in Antiquity. The textual evidence for these bronzes can be ambiguous, but their compositions have been intensively studied and characterized in recent decades. In addition to the ancient technologies, elemental and molecular analysis of black bronzes across millennia and cultures reveals the frequent presence of selenium-based patin…

The Copper CHARM Set
This paper introduces a new set of certified reference materials designed to aid scientists and conservators working in cultural heritage fields with quantitative X-ray fluorescence analysis of historical and prehistoric copper alloys. This set has been designated as the Copper CHARM Set (Cultural Heritage Alloy Reference Material Set). The Copper CHARM Set is designed to be used by a wide range of museum-, art- and archaeology-oriented scientist…
Maya Metallurgical Technology in Late Postclassic-Spanish Colonial Times
Recent archaeometallurgical studies at the ancient Maya site of Lamanai, Belize have begun to reveal the nature of copper metallurgy in the centuries just prior to and during Spanish contact in the Southern Maya Lowland Area. More copper artifacts have been recovered from controlled archaeological excavations at Lamanai than at any other site in the Southern Maya Lowland area. A total of 187 copper objects dating to the 12th through 16th centurie…

Byzantine Opaque Red Glass Tesserae From Beit Shean, Israel
This paper presents the results of analysis of Byzantine opaque red glass tesserae derived from three separate locations in the ancient city of Beit Shean, Israel. Investigation proceeded using reflective light microscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence and energy dispersive scanning electron microscopy. The glass matrix of the tesserae was found to be heterogeneous, with many inclusions. Similarities and differences between tesserae from t…
