Characterisation of pigments and technical features of Byzantine mural paintings from eastern Crete (Lassithi)
First analysis of pigments of Byzantine mural paintings from eastern Crete (8th – 16th c.). • Multi-analytical methodology for revealing the red pigment composition and utilization over time. • Dominance of red ochres; vermilion (cinnabar) more widespread than previously assumed. • Lime-based binder components identified; secco and mixed execution techniques. • Thermal and humidity-related degradation of red pigments diagnosed and documented. Cre…
D’azur et d’or. Analyse spectrométrique des miniatures de la Bible de Paris
Azure and Gold. A Spectrometric Analysis of the Illuminated Paris Syriac Bible The Paris Syriac Bible (BnF Syriaque 341) was written in northern Mesopotamia during the sixth century. This imposing codex, which contains both the Old and New Testaments, preserves a fragmentary decoration which ranks among the earliest evidence of Syriac illumination. The spectrometric analysis of inks, dyes and pigments, carried out by an international team between…
Rare tattoos shape and composition on a South American mummy
Unusual tattoos shape and composition on unpublished mummified South American mummy. • Combination of imaging, chemical-physical analyses and anthropological literature. • Analytical approach demonstrates the presence of magnetite. • Corroboration of the role of museum collection in the analysis of ancient culture. • Multidisciplinary study to broaden the vision of tattoo practice in South America. Tattooing was a widely distributed cultural prac…

Non-invasive study of Early Medieval wall paintings in the churches of St. Stephan in Chur and St. Martin in Disentis (Switzerland)
The Early Medieval wall paintings preserved in historical sites of the ancient Raetia Curiensis region (today's Swiss Canton of Grisons and parts of Northern Italy and Austria) provide a rare testimony of the art of this period. This contribution presents the results of the non-invasive scientific campaigns carried out in the churches of St. Stephan in Chur and St. Martin in Disentis/Mustér (Canton of Grisons, Switzerland). In the church of St. S…
Unusual Composition of the Sarezzano Reliquary Busts
The interdisciplinary study of two reliquary busts from Sarezzano (Piedmont, Italy) is a perfect example of the necessity to provide for material characterisation as a recurring common practice in historical studies and a mandatory step in conservation assessment. Furthermore, the diagnostics of cultural heritage play a crucial role in art historical research, providing relevant information on artefacts’ genesis, production technology, and conser…
Non-Invasive Analyses of Italian “Ostrogothic” Jewellery
The Desana treasure is a remarkable assemblage of items made of gold, silver, gemstones and glasses found in north-western Italy. Most scholars agree on the fact that the core of the treasure might have belonged to a single deposit resulted from a long period of selection, accumulation and use. The treasure testifies to the evolution of goldsmiths’ art in Ostrogothic Italy and represents an extraordinary material trace of the Italian elites of th…
Scorrione West (Modica, Ragusa, Sicily)
The excavation campaigns at Modica—Scorrione W (2020-2022) have brought together a consistent dataset which challenges the traditional picture of the appearance and economic background of rural rock-cut cemeteries during Late Antiquity. It is argued that rock-cut and lighter structures, as well as a number of decorative means, were employed in order to define the spatial hierarchy of the site. Besides its aesthetic implications, the use of stone,…
On the Hierarchical Use of Colourants in a 15th Century Book of Hours
An illuminated Book of Hours (in use in Chalon-sur-Saône) currently owned by the Museo Civico di Arte Antica and displayed in the prestigious Palazzo Madama in Torino (Italy) was investigated by means of optical microscopy, fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy, fibre optic molecular fluorimetry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of the scientific survey was to expand the knowledge of the manuscript itself and on the …
Pigments-the palette of organic colourants in wall paintings
The present contribution deals with the use of organic colourants in wall paintings, polychrome pottery and painted stone artworks, i.e. painted artworks on inorganic supports. The termorganic colourantsis referred to the chemical nature of these compounds but not to the way of application; therefore, organic colourants can be dyes, lakes or pigments. The use of organic colourants in wall paintings has been given little attention in the past, per…
Non-Invasive Study on the Sinope Gospels
The 6th century Codex Sinopensis or Sinope Gospels (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France) is one of the most precious purple codices that survive from the Late Antique period. Together with the Vienna Genesis (Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) and the Rossano Gospels (Rossano Calabro, Museo Diocesano), it has an unusually rich decorative apparatus with scenes representing biblical episodes. It can be, therefore, considered one of the m…

Multi‐Technique Characterization of Adhesives Used in Medieval Jewellery
In this work, a multi‐technique analytical approach was used to characterize adhesive samples taken from medieval chef d'oeuvres jewellery, three manuscript bindings and a crucifix produced in northern Italy between the 8th and the 11th century ad , according to art‐historical evaluation and 14 C dating executed on adhesives. These materials being complex mixtures, mostly of organic/inorganic nature, various analytical techniques were utilized to…
The "Coptic" textiles of the "Museo Egizio" in Torino (Italy)
Characterisation of colourants on illuminated manuscripts by portable fibre optic UV-visible-NIR reflectance spectrophotometry
The use of ultraviolet and visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry as a preliminary technique in the investigation of illuminated manuscripts is discussed. Because ancient manuscripts are amongst the most fragile and precious artworks, characterisation of the materials used in their decoration should be performed using non-invasive analytical methods. Ultraviolet and visible reflectance spectrophotometry with optical fibres (FORS) allows no…
Icp–ms Analysis of Glass Fragments of Parthian and Sasanian Epoch From Seleucia and Veh Ardaš?r (Central Iraq)
Forty‐one glass fragments were analysed by inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry, determining 40 major, minor and trace elements, including rare earth elements. The fragments came from excavations carried out at the archaeological sites of Seleucia and Veh Ardaš?r in modern Iraq, and were dated to the Parthian and Sasanian epochs. Analytical data indicate that all the samples are silica–soda–lime glasses. Magnesium and potassium oxide co…
Campanian Pottery From Ancient Bruttium (Southern Italy)
One hundred and fifty‐seven sherds of Campanian pottery were analysed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‐OES) and flame emission spectroscopy (FES). The sherds were found in the course of archaeological excavations carried out at the sites of Sibari, Cosenza, Crotone, Locri, Reggio and Oppido Mamertina in southern Italy (ancient Bruttium, today Calabria). Analyses were carried out on dissolved samples, determining 15…
