Characterisation of pigments and technical features of Byzantine mural paintings from eastern Crete (Lassithi): A diachronic view of reds between the 8th and 16th centuries
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…
SmART_scan: A method to produce composition maps using any elemental, molecular and image data
Egyptian blue in the Castelseprio mural painting cycle. Imaging and evidence of a non-traditional manufacture
Color in monumental Mexica sculpture
Characterization of Coral Red Slips on Greek Attic Pottery
Samples of red and black gloss from Greek Attic pottery of the late sixth to fifth centuries bc were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM and FIB/STEM). The focus of the study was the chemical and microstructural characterization of the red gloss that was first produced during this period. Two groupings of red gloss were revealed. One red was found to be compositionally similar to the black glosses (labelled ‘LCM coral red’). The othe…
Evaluation of Binder/Aggregate Ratios in Archaeological Lime Mortars With Carbonate Aggregate: A Comparative Assessment of Chemical, Mechanical and Microscopic Approaches
This paper reports on the comparative evaluation of traditional and innovative methods for the investigation of mortar technology. Preliminary results of various approaches to determining the mix proportions in lime mortars with carbonate aggregate are presented. Quantitative analysis was tested on ad hoc prepared mortars of known composition containing carbonate aggregates of different origin (travertine and Bath limestone). Wet chemical methods…
Mineralogical and chemical composition of transport amphorae excavated at Locri Epizephiri (southern Italy)
Photoluminescence of the inorganic pigments Egyptian blue, Han blue and Han purple
