Neutron tomography reveals extensive modern modification in Iron Age Iranian swords
Early Iron Age Iranian bladed weaponry plays a significant role in discussions of metallurgical development in the ancient Near East. Due to its ubiquity in museum collections, as well as co-occurrence of bronze, iron, and bimetallic forms, it figures prominently in debates about the early ironworking techniques in the late 2nd and early 1st millennia BCE. However, dispersed collections, often lacking secure archaeological context, have made comp…
Revealing the manufacturing and corrosion characteristics of Chinese archaeological metal arrows by non-destructive neutron techniques
Archaeometallurgical investigation on the Han iron swords and knives unearthed from Xi'an, China
The Vittoria Alata from Brescia
Metallographic and neutron diffraction analysis on microstructural evolution and control in ancient Indian high carbon steel
Despite the credit attributed to India for the early production of high carbon steel, not much is known about Indian contribution to the implementation of a pertinent fabrication technique without which this special material might have little practical value. A metallographic examination of a small iron lump and an iron sheet, both excavated from the second BC to second AD century site at Junnar in India, provided evidence that the production of …
"Some insight into "bronze quadrigati
One of the more obscure areas of Roman Republican early coinage are debased quadrigati, which traditionally are deemed to represent the last stage of this coin type. Starting from a pre-screening, based on low specific gravity samples, we first performed neutron diffraction analyses on a larger sample, which allowed us to single out the more debased series. Subsequently, we focused on those series and applied various additional physical investiga…
Neutron-based techniques for archaeometry
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…
An Archaeometallurgical Investigation on Metal Samples from the Chiaravalle Cross
The production and manufacturing techniques of metals involve expertise, and the study of ancient artifacts relies on interdisciplinary skills. Metalworking processes used in the production of jewelry masterpieces can, for example, give indications on the provenance of an ancient object of an unknown origin and the techniques used. In this regard, metallic samples from the Chiaravalle Cross (a beautiful processional cross with a complex structure…

The investigation of Indian and central Asian swords through neutron methods
Average and core silver content of ancient-debased coins via neutron diffraction and specific gravity
Extraction of archaeological information from metallic artefacts—A neutron diffraction study on Viking swords
Disclosing mineralogical phases in medioeval iron nails by non-destructive neutron techniques
