  • Révéler les choix matériels et techniques de Léonard de Vinci par l’analyse chimique

    Open AccessVictor Gonzalez, Víctor Fernando Herrera González et al.ARTICLESpotlight2024

    Collecter des informations chimiques sur les matériaux employés par Léonard de Vinci permet de mieux comprendre la matérialité de ses pratiques picturales et fournit de nouvelles informations pouvant contribuer à la conservation de ses œuvres. Mais les peintures de Léonard sont des systèmes chimiques complexes, assemblages hybrides de pigments minéraux et de composés organiques, notamment liants à l’huile. Ces pigments étaient obtenus par des voi…

  • Nouveaux regards sur Léonard de Vinci par l’imagerie scientifique

    Open AccessElisabeth Ravaud, Gilles Bastian et al.ARTICLESpotlight2024

    La recherche sur les pratiques picturales de Léonard de Vinci a bénéficié d’une nouvelle technique d’analyse non invasive devenue, par le biais des développements informatiques, une technique d’imagerie : la cartographie de fluorescence X. Les apports de cette technique seront illustrés à partir d’exemples nous informant sur la genèse des œuvres, la connaissance de la palette, l’analyse des motifs de la composition souvent devenus peu lisibles en…

  • Bead and Garnet Trade Between the Merovingian, Mediterranean, and Indian Worlds

    Constantin Pion, Bernard Gratuze et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of the…2020Cited by: 1

    Written sources document the pursuit of trade between India and the Mediterranean world during the early Middle Ages. These traded goods, notably spices, perfume, and luxury fabrics, rarely leave material remains as a result of their perishable nature. Two types of archaeological finds dated from the fifth and sixth centuries have helped fill some of the gaps in the documentary sources. The first includes small beads of green-colored glass found …

  • Le commerce des grenats à l’époque mérovingienne

    Open AccessThomas Calligaro, Patrick PérinARTICLEArcheopages2019Cited by: 4References: 1

    Aux Ve et VIe siècles, le style cloisonné caractérise tout l’Occident, de la Mer Noire au monde insulaire britannique et de la Scandinavie à l’Afrique du Nord, qu’il s’agisse de décors de poignées et de fourreaux d’épées et de scramasaxes, d’objets de parure ou d’accessoires vestimentaires. On a pu démontrer de longue date que les incrustations rouges utilisées n’étaient pas du verre, sauf exception, mais des grenats, et on s’est intéressé à leur…

  • New Clues on the Origin of the "Inca Mirror" at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris

    Open AccessThomas Calligaro, Pierre-Jacques Chiappero et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2019Cited by: 2References: 3

    Since at least 1742, the mineralogical collection of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) in Paris has hosted, under the reference number 22.U, a biconvex lens-shaped obsidian artifact, also described as a mirror, measuring 250 mm in diameter and finely polished on both faces. It has usually been ascribed to the shipment sent by Hernán Cortez in 1522 to the Emperor Charles V, which was captured by a French privateer. We investigated th…

  • Characterisation of metallic mordants in Subarctic Athapaskan quillwork

    Open AccessLore Troalen, Thomas Calligaro et al.ARTICLESpotlight2016

    Native American quillwork collections remain little studied due to the limited availability of quillwork material for sampling. In this paper we explore the use of non-invasive Particle Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) to characterise metallic residues in a set of modern porcupine quills prepared with a range of metallic mordants. PIXE analysis was used to determine the concentrations of various morda…

  • Aglae au cœur du programme européen Eu-Artech

    Open AccessJean-Claude Dran, Thomas CalligaroARTICLESpotlight2016

    L’accélérateur de particules AGLAE du C2RMF a eu un rôle majeur dans l’émergence du projet européen Eu-ARTECH. Après un bref rappel des propriétés des méthodes d’analyse par faisceau d’ions, la spécificité d’AGLAE est soulignée. Les activités impliquant l’accès transnational (TNA) à cette installation sont alors présentées, révélant la grande diversité des thèmes scientifiques abordés. Des exemples d’études sont donnés, qui illustrent la contribu…

  • Le Portrait d’Antoine de La Roque par Antoine Watteau (Tokyo, Fuji Art Museum) est-il un tableau à deux mains

    Open AccessBruno Mottin, Florence Raymond et al.ARTICLESpotlight2015

    Le Portrait d’Antoine de La Roque (Tokyo, Fuji Art Museum) est généralement considéré comme une œuvre d’Antoine Watteau et a été gravé sous ce nom par François-Bernard Lépicié, vers 1734, pour le Recueil Jullienne. Les historiens d’art s’interrogent cependant depuis quelques années sur une possible contribution de Nicolas Lancret à son exécution. L’étude réalisée en 2013 au Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France (C2RMF) montr…

    Open AccessNick Schiavon, Adelinda Candeias et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2012Cited by: 1References: 55

    An integrated, multi‐analytical approach combining the high sensitivity of SR‐μXRF, the light element capability of PIXE/PIGE under a helium flux and the spatial resolution of BSEM + EDS was used to characterize chemical composition and corrosion of glass samples (first to fourth centuries ad ) from an important, but scarcely investigated, Roman region of south‐west Iberia (southern Portugal). The geochemical trends and associations of major, min…

  • Marginal Perspectives

    Tristan Carter, F X Le Bourdonnec et al.ARTICLEPaléorient2011Cited by: 21References: 6

    Fifty-six pieces of obsidian from the Öküzini Cave in SW Anatolia were elementally characterised using particle induced X-ray emission [ PIXE], the artefacts coming from strata that span the early Epi-Palaeolithic to Late Chalcolithic. The obsidian comes from two sources in southern Cappadocia, East Göllü Dağ and Nenezi Dağ (380 km distant), representing the earliest evidence for these sources’ use at distance. The cave’s inhabitants perpetually …

    A collection of 50 archaeological obsidian samples studied in the framework of the Preciudadela Project (Teotihuacan, Mexico) has been analysed using particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) with the external beam line of the Accélérateur Grand Louvre d'Analyse Elémentaire facility (C2RMF, Paris) and of the Instituto de Física (UNAM, Mexico). This work addresses the provenance of these obsidian samples, with the purpose of determining if they come …

    The recovery of the Dacian gold bracelets was the most thrilling archaeological event of the last years in Romania. The artefacts are exhibited in the Historical Treasure section of the National History museum of Romania, Bucharest, being recovered from the international antique markets through a concerted effort of the Romanian, French, and German authorities.This paper reviews the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyses carried out on these exquisite…

    This article presents recent results of our analysis of the operative sequence of production and consumption of Olmec greenstone artefacts. It documents the multi-disciplinary approach taken to the kinds of manufacturing techniques used by the Olmecs, the quarries where they extracted raw materials, and the contexts in which they sometimes buried their tools. This project uses implement petrography, energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), neutron activ…

  • Discovery and Characterization of an Unknown Blue‐green Maya Pigment

    Open AccessRenata García Moreno, F Mathis et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2008References: 4

    Blue‐green mosaic and polychrome masks and funerary offerings from the royal tombs of Calakmul, Mexico, were analysed by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and particle induced X‐ray emission (PIXE). This led to the first identification of the use of veszelyite, a rare hydrated copper‐zinc phosphate, as green pigment. Analyses of a geological sample of this mineral h…

  • The Treasure of Guarrazar

    Open AccessMaria Guerra, M F Guerra et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2007Cited by: 7References: 15

    The treasure of Guarrazar, found in the 19th century in Spain, is the most important illustration of the high level of Visigothic jewellery in the Iberian Peninsula. The votive crowns and crosses of this treasure are an arrangement of pierced gold in a Byzantine–Germanic style, decorated with emeralds, garnets, sapphires and other materials. In order to establish the provenance of the gold, we analysed a group of 46 minute samples from the most i…
