Colourless glass from the Palatine and Esquiline hills in Rome (Italy). New data on antimony- and manganese-decoloured glass in the Roman period
Late Antique and Early Medieval Glass Vessels from Faragola (Italy)
Thirty‐two glass objects (third to ninth centuries ad ) have been investigated by means of SEM–EDS, EMPA, ICP–MS and LA–ICP–MS. Siliceous sands and natron were identified as the vitrifying and the fluxing agents, respectively. Colouring agents were iron for yellow/–green, aqua blue and blackish glass; cobalt for blue and, combined with iron, for brownish glass; and copper and lead antimonates for one emerald green glass. Antimony was the main dec…

The ‘Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints’ of Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the St. Augustine Church (Siena, Italy)
The F aragola Ceramic Collection
A collection of 30 ceramic samples, 16 of coarse wares and 14 of fine painted wares, have been investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and neutron activation analysis. Further samples of clayey sediments, both locally outcropping and found within the settling tank, have been submitted to the same analytical techniques f…
The Volterran Urns
The artistic evolution of the V olterran cinerary urns is a good representation of E truscan painting from the fourth to the first century bc . The interest generated by this type of object directed our research towards the study of the V olterran artefacts, including the analysis of the pigments as well as that of the rocks used for the coffers. The entire colour range shown by the painted urns has been sampled and investigated through R aman mi…
North Apulian Coarse Wares and Fine Painted Wares
Late Antique coarse cooking wares and painted fine wares found at Herdonia (second half of the fourth century to mid‐fifth century ad ) and Canusium (late sixth century to early seventh century ad ) have been chemically and mineralogically characterized. A total of 74 samples (40 of coarse ware and 34 of fine painted ware) was investigated through optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, inductively coupled plas…
The Coloured Tesserae Decorating the Vaults of the Faragola Balneum (Ascoli Satriano, Foggia, Southern Italy)
Twenty‐six tesserae (red, orange, yellow, light amber, green, blue and white) from the balneum of the villa at Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Foggia) have been examined by colorimetry, ICP–MS, ICP–OES and SEM–EDS. Different types of calcareous sands have been used as the source of silica (network former), also providing the stabilizing agent. A natron‐type soda source served as the network modifier; however, the use of a sodium‐rich plant ash and the…
Pigments and Plasters From the Roman Settlement of Thamusida (Rabat, Morocco)
A total of 22 samples were taken both from plasters still in situ and from collapsed material recovered by French, Italian and Moroccan teams at the Roman settlement of Thamusida (Rabat, Morocco). The sample characterization was obtained using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, image analysis and Raman micro‐spectroscopy. Plaster aggregate was made using a mixture of sands and clays that outcrop nearby, while lime was probably prod…

The Sectilia Panels of Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Southern Italy)
Analyses at the Cu–K, Fe–K and Mn–K edge were performed to study the green, marbled (green and yellow), blue and blackish (deep greyish olive green) glass slabs decorating three sectilia panels from the archaeological site of Faragola. Results indicate that all slabs were made by mixing siliceous sand with natron, sometimes probably mixed with small percentages of plant ash. Cu 2 + and Pb antimonates should be responsible for the opaque green col…
Archaeometric characterisation of coarse and painted fine ware from Posta Crusta (Foggia, Italy)
Integrating archaeology, archaeometry and geology
Sienese ‘Archaic’ Majolica
The aim of the present study is to reconstruct the production technology of Sienese ‘archaic’ majolica in the early decades of the 14th century ad . The integration of archaeological data with archived data revealed the presence of numerous workshops, suggesting that the Sienese tradition of majolica production was well developed up until the end of the 16th century. Sixty‐seven uncoated and coated waste products were analysed. The ceramic bodies…
