An Introduction and Recent Advances in the Analytical Study of Early Synthetic Dyes and Organic Pigments in Cultural Heritage
This article reviews the research recently undertaken to characterise and identify early synthetic dyes (ESDs) and synthetic organic pigments (SOPs) as well as study their degradation pathways with a focus on cultural heritage applications. Since the invention of the first fully synthetic dye in 1856, these materials have been used in a variety of historic objects and artworks, such as textiles, furniture, prints, paintings, drawings, etc. The sy…
Reproducing reality. Recreating bonding defects observed in transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) museum objects and assessing defect formation
The most common method chosen by artists, designers, and craftsmen to realize artworks and objects with transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is to bond pieces from premanufactured sheets using solvents or adhesives. This method is considered relatively easy to use, however achieving bonds that are both transparent and strong can be difficult. Artifacts from museum collections made by bonding transparent PMMA often exhibit a variety of bon…
A case study for scientific research prior to conservation of marine metal artefacts
A rare find of a high-status 17th century oval box, retrieved from a shipwreck, provided a unique opportunity to research the construction and finishing layers of an object that is untouched for 350 years. This case study was used to demonstrate the extent of data that can be gained from analytical techniques prior to conservation. The amalgam-gilt brass object was studied by optical and electron microscopy, X-radiography, micro-computed X-ray to…
A non-invasive imaging approach for improved assessments on the construction and the condition of historical knotted-pile carpets
The appraisal of the design and the weaving structure of Islamic knotted-pile carpets can tell plenty about the context in which they were produced, and the identification of signs of deterioration can help to establish their condition. These are often somewhat imprecise and laborious examinations, especially when considering carpets of large dimensions. Analytical methods that support these disciplines urge further exploration so that improved i…
From the bottom of the sea to the display case
Mapping degradation pathways of natural and synthetic dyes with LC-MS
Textilreste aus einem spätbronzezeitlichen Bergbaurevier bei Radfeld in Nordtirol – Sekundärnutzung von Stoffen zur Abdichtung
Im traditionsreichen Bergbaugebiet von Schwaz/Brixlegg im Nordtiroler Unterinntal fand während der späten Bronzezeit und frühen Eisenzeit ein umfangreicher Bergbau auf Kupfererze statt, der zahlreiche Spuren im Gelände hinterlassen hat. Montanarchäologische Forschungsprojekte der Universität Innsbruck, gefördert vom österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF und vom Tiroler Wissenschaftsfonds TWF, untersuchen seit den 1990er Jahren das prähistorisch…
Reproducing colourful woven bands from the Iron Age salt mine of Hallstatt in Austria
Searching for blue
The starting point for this research was the requirement to produce replicas of Iron Age textiles from Hallstatt in Austria using traditional methods. Three traditional processing and dyeing methods using woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) were successfully recreated in an iterative experimental process: dyeing with fresh leaves, with green and couched woad and with woad pigment. During these experiments, several colours other than the typical blue also …
