  • Re-Discovery of a Unique Pewter Flask from Sacred Well of Santa Cristina in Paulilatino (Sardinia, Italy)

    Open AccessA Depalmas, Roberta Iannaccone et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025

    This study reports the discovery, contextualization, and archaeometric analysis of a unique metal pilgrim flask recovered from the sacred well of Santa Cristina (Paulilatino, Sardinia, Italy), a major sanctuary complex of the Nuragic period. Misidentified for several decades following its 20th-century excavation, the object has now been reinterpreted as a nearly intact, full-scale pilgrim flask manufactured from pewter—a material previously unrec…

  • Multianalytical Study of a Painting on Copper

    Open AccessRoberta Iannaccone, Alessandro Ponzeletti et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024References: 3

    The painting studied, featuring the Virgin contemplating the sleeping Child, is a well-known composition in the religious context, especially popular since the 16th century. The technique, oil on copper plate, and materials were examined applying a multimethodological non-invasive approach. The main goal was to quantitatively characterize the layer composition and thickness. To obtain them, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with Monte Carlo…

  • A multi analytical characterization of a small bronze figurine from Gran Carro site (Bolsena Lake, Italy)

    Open AccessMarta Porcaro, Barbara Barbaro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2023References: 9

    This paper presents the results of an archaeometric analysis carried out on an early Iron Age anthropomorphic figurine discovered in the area of the Gran Carro on Bolsena Lake (Latium, Italy) site, currently interpreted as a place of worship. This statuette is considered a unicum, both because of the context in which it was found and because of its stylistic characteristics similar to those of bronzes from the Nuragic civilization (Sardinia, Ital…

  • Multispectral Analysis of Miniature Nuragic Bronze Flasks

    Open AccessCarlo Nocco, Francesca Assunta Pisu et al.ARTICLEHeritage2021References: 2

    Miniaturized bronze flasks represent a small portion of a wide metallurgical production that flourished in Sardinia (Italy) between the Final Bronze Age (FBA) and the Early Iron Age (EIA). They replicate a well-known and symbolic type of object, the pilgrims’ flask, common in all Europe and Mediterranean basin, and have but few archaeological parallels. For these reasons, their characterization can be considered important from an archaeological p…

  • Monte Carlo Simulations of ED-XRF Spectra as an Authentication Tool for Nuragic Bronzes

    Open AccessCarlo Nocco, A Brunetti et al.ARTICLEHeritage2021References: 3

    The high artistic and cultural relevance of particular objects, in this case from the Nuragic civilization, have stimulated the growth of a forgery industry, replicating small bronze boats (navicelle), statues (bronzetti), and other objects. It is often the case where the forgeries are of such quality that it becomes difficult to distinguish them from authentic artifacts without a proper chemical analysis. In this research, a Monte Carlo simulati…

  • Art Casting in Portuguese 19th Century Industrial Foundries

    Open AccessPablo General-Toro, Rui Bordalo et al.ARTICLEHeritage2021References: 1

    The outdoor sculpture of the first Portuguese king, D. Afonso Henriques (c. 1109–1185 AD), placed in Guimarães (North Portugal), is one of the most emblematic national sculptures. Created in 1887 by António Soares dos Reis, it possesses a remarkable symbolic value in the presumed birthplace of the king. In addition to the artistic and heritage importance of the monument, it is one of the few sculptures cast by a Portuguese industrial foundry in t…

  • Neutron-based techniques for archaeometry

    Open AccessA Depalmas, M Cataldo et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2021Cited by: 4References: 15

    Sardinian metallurgy produced samples of high artistic and historical value. In particular, ship models are rare and unmatched examples of the mastery reached by Sardinian metallurgists and their production process deserves an in-depth analysis of all the phases involved in the making. In this work, we examined a Sardinian boat model to obtain information about its composition, microstructure and manufacturing technique. The object is a small bro…
