Why change what works? Technological resilience in Harappan pottery from Bagasra (c. 2450–1900 BCE), Gujarat
This pilot study investigates the resilience of pottery manufacturing at a fortified coastal Harappan settlement of Bagasra (Gujarat, India; c. 2450–1900 BCE). • LED microscopy and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) was performed on 73 samples, of which 17 were further examined using SEM–EDS, FTIR, and XRD. • Four clay paste groups were identified (<SiO 2 -rich, balanced, <Al 2 O 2 -rich, and <CaO + MgO-rich), of which three remained stable throu…
A Wood-Carved and Painted Chest from Epirus, Greece: Analysis Prior to Preservation
Folk art includes objects that are items for everyday use and, at the same time, gracefully reflect the Greek artistic point of view, drawing its inspiration from life itself, the environment and its beauties, and local tradition. An 18th c. wood-carved and painted chest coming from the famous wood-carved centers of Epirus in Greece is presented in this study. As the number of studies and the general bibliographical references are limited for the…
Did Dionysius of Fourna Follow the Material Recipes Described in His Own Treatise? A First Analytical Investigation of Four of His Panel Paintings
A research protocol based on imaging techniques and physicochemical analyses was designed and carried out in order to investigate the construction technology of four panel paintings produced by a very important 18th century artist, hieromonk Dionysius from Fourna. Dionysius was the first painter of the post-Byzantine period who wrote an artists’ manual for the Eastern Orthodox painting art: he recorded and described in his treatise ‘Hermeneia of …
Organic Remains in Early Christian Egyptian Metal Vessels: Investigation with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
Organic remains preserved on eight copper alloy artifacts of the Byzantine Collection of the Benaki Museum with an Egyptian provenance were investigated, implementing a multi-analytical approach combining microscopy-FTIR and GC/MS. The transmission spectra of powder samples provided important information on the vessels regarding inorganic and organic components. In the latter case, subsequent extractions with a range of solvents allowed discrimin…
Characterisation and Analysis of Metallic Artefacts from the Pylos Archaeological Museum
The present study focuses on the analysis of four unique artefacts, originally recovered from a tomb complex of the Hellenistic period and now displayed at the New Pylos Archaeological Museum, Niokastro fortress of Pylos, Greece (since 2016). The items are rod-shaped, with a length between 5.5 and 14.6 cm and intricate decorative patterns. The rods were analysed following a multi-technique, non-invasive approach, using optical microscopy, XRF, SE…
The Introduction of Open and Free Academic Courses in Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Greece
The 4-year Bachelor Degree in Conservation-Restoration at the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Athens has the difficult task of preparing its students to become professional Conservator-Restorers with knowledge and skills in six specializations of either archaeological (objects) conservation or in conservation works of art. Thus, the academic staff of the Department has the challenge to prepare its students to be qualified in practice…
