Characterisation of pigments and technical features of Byzantine mural paintings from eastern Crete (Lassithi)
First analysis of pigments of Byzantine mural paintings from eastern Crete (8th – 16th c.). • Multi-analytical methodology for revealing the red pigment composition and utilization over time. • Dominance of red ochres; vermilion (cinnabar) more widespread than previously assumed. • Lime-based binder components identified; secco and mixed execution techniques. • Thermal and humidity-related degradation of red pigments diagnosed and documented. Cre…
Archaeometric insight into the early South Italian red figure pottery (420–375 BCE)
Glass flow on the Dnipro River
Back to black
An assemblage of black-appearing glass objects (predominantly beads) that is dated to the 9th–7th centuries BCE and found in Iron Age contexts of Southern Etruria and Latium (central Italy) was analysed using portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The analytical approach allowed us to discuss the technology of glass-making in a period of relevant tech…
Vitreous finds from the Iron Age archaeological complex at Bilsk (Ukraine) as evidence of trade by land and sea
Glass from Bilsk is chemically close to coeval materials from the Mediterranean. • At least two primary sources of glass were distinguished. • Faience beads feature peculiar composition of the vitreous phase. • Intense exchange of the local population with distant localities confirmed. The Bilsk archaeological complex comprises the remains of many structures associated with an impressive Iron Age fortified site and extends over a vast area in cen…
It is not crystal clear
The Iron Age was a period of change, with many innovations in the glass-making technology. The chemical composition of the set of objects considered in the present study demonstrates the diversity of the raw materials used and the depth of knowledge about the manipulation of glass appearance in the eighth-sixth centuries BCE. The study was carried out using fibre optics reflection spectroscopy and portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry at the m…
Non-Invasive Analyses of Italian “Ostrogothic” Jewellery
The Desana treasure is a remarkable assemblage of items made of gold, silver, gemstones and glasses found in north-western Italy. Most scholars agree on the fact that the core of the treasure might have belonged to a single deposit resulted from a long period of selection, accumulation and use. The treasure testifies to the evolution of goldsmiths’ art in Ostrogothic Italy and represents an extraordinary material trace of the Italian elites of th…
The Non-Invasive Characterization of Iron Age Glass Finds from the “Gaetano Chierici” Collection in Reggio Emilia (Italy)
This work reports the results of the analyses performed on a set of glass finds from the “Gaetano Chierici” collection in the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia. Forty-eight typologically heterogeneous glass finds were included in the list of the analyzed objects, dating from the fifth century BCE to the first century CE. The objects primarily consisted of glass beads; however, bangles, pinheads, and one vessel fragment were also included in the set.…

On the Hierarchical Use of Colourants in a 15th Century Book of Hours
An illuminated Book of Hours (in use in Chalon-sur-Saône) currently owned by the Museo Civico di Arte Antica and displayed in the prestigious Palazzo Madama in Torino (Italy) was investigated by means of optical microscopy, fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy, fibre optic molecular fluorimetry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of the scientific survey was to expand the knowledge of the manuscript itself and on the …

Characterisation of colourants on illuminated manuscripts by portable fibre optic UV-visible-NIR reflectance spectrophotometry
The use of ultraviolet and visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry as a preliminary technique in the investigation of illuminated manuscripts is discussed. Because ancient manuscripts are amongst the most fragile and precious artworks, characterisation of the materials used in their decoration should be performed using non-invasive analytical methods. Ultraviolet and visible reflectance spectrophotometry with optical fibres (FORS) allows no…

Technology of Production of Ghaznavid Glazed Pottery From Bust and Lashkar-I Bazar (Afghanistan)
Fifteen fragments of glazed pottery were studied by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM–EDS). The fragments, dated from between the 11th and the 12th centuries, are part of a group excavated at ancient Bust and Lashkar-i Bazar (southern Afghanistan) and belonging to the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza. All the samples are characterized by highly calcareous bodies, and all of them but one is c…
Combined archaeomagnetic and thermoluminescence study of a brick kiln excavated at Fontanetto Po (Vercelli, Northern Italy)
A Scientific Investigation on the Provenance and Technology of a Black-Figure Amphora Attributed to the Priam Group
The restoration of a Greek black-figure amphora provided an opportunity to study the provenance and production technology of the vase. The composition of the ceramic body, determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP–OES), matches that of Attic products. Investigation by X-ray diffraction and reflectance spectroscopy suggests a maximum firing temperature around 900°C and a body re-oxidation temperature around 800°C,…
The Provenance of Red Figure Vases From Locri Epizephiri (Southern Italy)
Thirty‐nine samples of red figure pottery found at Locri Epizephiri were analysed for 18 chemical elements by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. The finds, dated from the end of the sixth to the fourth century bc , were assigned to Attic, Sicilian and Locrian workshops due to their style of execution. Prior to facing the archaeological questions, possible biases on sample classification due to variable firing conditions, or to alte…
Glass Fragments from the Crypta Balbi in Rome
Eighth‐century glass fragments from the Crypta Balbi in Rome were analysed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. The samples included fragments of artefacts as well as ingots of raw glass and wasters. All the fragments proved to be soda–lime glasses. Manganese‐to‐iron atomic ratios are highly variable and determine the colour of a large number of samples. Fairly high copper contents, generally associated with relatively high amount…
