A multi-technique investigative approach unveils new compositional insights into the Pompeian red in the Domus di Arianna
A synergistic approach combining invasive and non-invasive compositional analysis techniques on Italian maiolica tin glazes from Montelupo Fiorentino
This study presents a multi-analytical approach to the study of tin glazes of Italian maiolica aiming to optimise a detailed characterisation of these materials comparing and combining invasive and non-invasive methodologies. First, the application of ion beam analysis (IBA) on tin-glazed ceramics is tested as a non-invasive alternative to scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), which is considered the benchmar…
Smoking habits, ETS exposure and knowledge of tobacco and e-cigarettes/HTPs among university students in Italy—a multicentre study
Tobacco smoking is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, responsible for about 61,300 deaths annually in Italy. In addition to tobacco cigarettes, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) has increased among young people, raising public health concerns. This study aimed to investigate smoking habits, exposure to passive smoke, and awareness of health risks among Italian university students. A mu…
Shedding light on the microstructure and chemical composition of rare early medieval coins from Italy (Berengario I) by combining pXRF and SEM-EDX analysis
Economic rebound versus imperial monopoly
Archaeometric Provenance Constraints for Early Medieval Sparse Glazed Pottery from Donoratico (Livorno, Italy)
The study of a huge repertory of sparse glazed ware from Donoratico (Livorno, Italy) dated back to the ninth century was carried out to investigate the production technology via petrographic, chemical, and isotopic investigations. The mineralogical and chemical evidence suggested the application of a lead oxide flux to an unfired non‐calcareous ceramic body, in accordance with late Antique and early‐Medieval traditions. The isotopic investigation…
Monitoring of Airborne Mercury
In the present study, mercury (Hg) concentrations were investigated in lichens ( Flavoparmelia caperata (L.) Hale, Parmelia saxatilis (L.) Ach., and Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th.Fr.) collected in the surrounding of the dismissed Abbadia San Salvatore Hg mine (Monte Amiata district, Italy). Results were integrated with Hg concentrations in tree barks and literature data of gaseous Hg levels determined by passive air samplers (PASs) in the same area…
Copper metallurgy in ancient Etruria (southern Tuscany, Italy) at the Bronze-Iron Age transition
Experimental smelting of iron ores from Elba Island (Tuscany, Italy)
Early Renaissance Production Recipes for Naples Yellow Pigment
The Naples Yellow pigment was apparently used for the first time by the Egyptians, as a glass-colouring agent. Also known in the Mesopotamian and Roman cultures, the recipe was lost in Western Europe between the fourth and the 16th centuries ad. The recipe for the production of lead antimonate recently discovered in the ‘Codice Calabranci’ (second half of the 15th century) at Montelupo, a small town near Florence (Italy) known for its large-scale…
The Evolution of Pre‐Islamic S outh A rabian Coinage
The present paper deals with compositional and microstructural features of 26 pre‐Islamic, S outh A rabian coins recently unearthed during archaeological excavations. Most of the investigated coins come from S umhuram ( K hor R ori, southern O man), and were minted by the H adramawt kingdom (fourth century bc to third century ad ); only a few of them belong to the H imyarite kingdom's coinage (first to fourth centuries ad ). In addition, some coi…
The Tungsten and Tin Signature of Iron Ores From Elba Island (Italy)
The mineralogy, petrography and major‐ and trace‐element composition of iron ores from Elba Island (Tuscany, Italy), one of the most important iron sources in the Mediterranean area since the first millennium bc , revealed that hematite‐rich ores display prominent enrichments in W and Sn (up to 4950 μg g −1 and 8400 μg g −1 , respectively). These two elements are hosted by tiny grains of W–Sn mineral phases (ferberite, scheelite and cassiterite) …
Copper production at Baratti (Populonia, southern Tuscany) in the early Etruscan period (9th–8th centuries BC)
Radiocarbon Reveals the Age of Two Precious Tombs in the Etruscan Site of Populonia-Baratti (Tuscany)
The archaeological site of Populonia-Baratti, in the southern part of Tuscany (Italy), was one of the most important centers in ancient Etruria, as seen in the evidence of metallurgical activities carried out at that time. During recent archaeological excavations (2005) in the ancient industrial area of Populonia, along the Baratti beach, 2 interesting tombs were found. The 2 graves were unusually located in an area dedicated to metallurgical act…
