‘The true Colours’ of Chalcolithic Cucuteni–Trypillia Pottery
The Chalcolithic Cucuteni–Trypillia culture (c. 5000–3500 BCE) is renowned for its trichrome mineral-painted pottery. While pigment compositions are well documented, the specific chaînes opératoires regarding paint preparation and application sequences remain debated. This study addresses this gap through a three-year systematic experimental programme (over 50 scenarios) integrated with a comparative multi-analytical approach. Experimental sample…
Interdisciplinary Analysis and the Role of Experiments in Raw Materials and Technology Identification for Prehistoric Pottery in the Bistrița River Basin (Romania)
The paper presents an interdisciplinary study based on an experimental model for investigating clay sources to identify prehistoric human behavior regarding resources. The study focuses on the Middle Bronze Age (1955/1773–1739/1614 cal. BC) settlement of Siliştea-Pe Cetățuie in eastern Romania, where archaeological materials from the Costișa and Monteoru cultures were discovered. Standard criteria for macroscopic analysis and analytical technique…
Authentication of a Bronze Bust of Napoleon I, Attributed to Renzo Colombo from 1885
This paper presents the authentication analysis of a bronze bust of Napoleon I, attributed to the Italian artist Renzo Colombo (1856–1885) based on his signature and other casting and molding inscriptions. The bust was made using the lost wax technique and artificially patinated in the Pinédo variant workshop. This study combined historiographical research (using the specialized literature) with data from auction catalogs. These were compared wit…
Evaluation of some wood-water relations and chemometric characteristics of recent oak and archaeological oak wood (Quercus robur) with archaeometric value
Investigation of Archaeological European White Elm (Ulmus laevis) for Identifying and Characterizing the Kind of Biological Degradation
The current work aims at the study of the biological degradation of archaeological European white elm via microscopy and chemical analysis in order to identify the kind of biological degradation and characterize the state of preservation of this type of wood. Profound knowledge of the chemical constituents and biological degradation in fresh-cut and archaeological elm wood will simplify the process of restoration and conservation of the investiga…
