The Glass Mosaic of S. Agnese fuori le mura
The present study, which is part of a wider inter-disciplinary research project on Medieval Rome funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, focuses on the archaeometric characterisation of glass tesserae from the apse mosaic of the church of S. Agnese fuori le mura, dated to the 7th century AD and never analysed until now. The main aims of the study are the identification of chemical compositions of glassy matrices and colouring/opacifying …
The Medieval Glass Mosaic of S. Agnese fuori le mura in Rome
The mosaic in the apse of the Church of S. Agnese fuori le mura in Rome represents one of the most important examples of the wall mosaics of the Roman Middle Ages. Although it is associated with Byzantine figurative culture, no scientific study has addressed this important piece of Italian art history. One factor that has probably limited and created difficulties for its analysis is the poor legibility of the original parts, which are compromised…
Geophysical Surveys for Archaeological Research in Urban Areas
The Roman theatre of Padua stood in the area now occupied by Prato della Valle, a huge elliptical-shaped square with a central green part (Isola Memmia) surrounded by a canal, built in the second half of the 18th century and part of the modern urban city center of Padua. Some still-preserved remains of the Roman theatre stand at the bottom of this canal. Recently, in 2017, emptying and cleaning the canal and excavating these remains, which had be…
Cumes. Recherches archéologiques dans la nécropole de la porte Médiane (2021)
Les campagnes de fouille de ces dernières années ont permis de commencer à explorer les niveaux de la nécropole tardo-hellénistique, oblitérés par le grand complexe impérial situé immédiatement à l’extérieur des remparts, au nord-est de la porte Médiane.Malgré la crise sanitaire, la mission archéologique a pu organiser et mener à bien les opérations prévues, en collaboration avec le Parc archéologique des Champs Phlégréens, du 30 août au 17 septe…
Mineralogical interpretation of multispectral images
FDEM and ERT measurements for archaeological prospections at Nuraghe S'Urachi (West‐Central Sardinia)
Nuraghe S'Urachi is a monumental architectural complex in West Central Sardinia that was probably first built in the Bronze Age and remained occupied continuously into the early Roman Imperial period. It has been the object of systematic and large‐scale archaeological investigations in three different phases since 1948 when the first excavations revealed a complex building within a massive defensive wall and multiple towers. Intermittent fieldwor…
Obsidian and Obsidian-like Glass Tesserae
Pliny the Elder testifies that roman workshops used volcanic glass (obsidian), but also produced and used a dark glass (obsidian-like glass) quite similar to the natural one. In the context of the study on medieval mosaics, the use of the obsidian and obsidian-like tesserae is a challenging research topic. In this paper, we present the results of a multidisciplinary study carried out on the Dedication wall mosaic, realized by a byzantine workshop…
Combining multispectral images with X-ray fluorescence to quantify the distribution of pigments in the frigidarium of the Sarno Baths, Pompeii
Non-destructive investigations for structural qualification of the Sarno Baths, Pompeii
The contribution of geophysical prospecting to the multidisciplinary study of the Sarno Baths, Pompeii
Pompéi. Villa de Diomède
L’objectif de la troisième campagne menée sur la Villa de Diomède était de préciser la chronologie relative du bâtiment et son évolution en fonction des rapports de propriété et d’occupation de l’espace qui organisent ce secteur périurbain de Pompéi. Dans l’angle sud-est de la villa, un secteur particulièrement propice pour l’étude a été privilégié, afin de caractériser la relation avec la Via delle Tombe, ainsi qu’avec les façades orientale et m…
