On the use of neutron tomography for morphological analysis of highly corroded Kofun-period iron weapon fragments supported by quantitative neutron diffraction analysis and X-ray-based techniques
The Non-Invasive Spectroscopic Study of a Parchment Object from the National Central Library of Florence
The Hebrew Scroll, catalogued as Magliabekian Manuscript III 43 and belonging to the National Central Library of Florence (BNCF), is a membranous richly decorated scroll, with colorful depictions of sacred sites through the Holy Land to Lebanon along with handwritten texts in Hebrew and notes in Italian. Despite the fact that the manuscript was originally catalogued as an “object of no artistic or scientific value”, recent paleographic studies da…
Non-invasive characterization of the manufacturing process of a Nuragic bronze statuette
Nuragic bronzes represent a historical archive that offers insights into the development of casting techniques in the Mediterranean basin. • Determining the manufacturing processes used in the creation of complex bronze items requires an understanding of Sardinian bronze metallurgy. • Neutron imaging techniques allows to characterise morphology and microstructure of bulk metal object in a completely non-invasive way. • The use of WB-NT and BENT a…
Morphological and microstructural characterization of an ancient Chola bronze statuette by neutron-based non-invasive techniques
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 …
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…
On the protective effect of the stress distribution on a lamellar Edo period Samurai helmet
The paper focuses on a seventeenth century Japanese helmet (kabuto) from the Saotome School; previous investigations revealed that its lamellae, made of high-quality low-carbon steel, were assembled following a novel structure that suggested higher resistance to firearms. Neutron diffraction represents the ideal technique for the characterisation of the microstructural properties of metals. In this work, neutron diffraction on a highly collimated…
Non-destructive microstructural characterization of a bronze boat model from Vetulonia
The investigation of Indian and central Asian swords through neutron methods
Elucidating the composition and the state of conservation of nitrocellulose-based animation cells by means of non-invasive and micro-destructive techniques
Average and core silver content of ancient-debased coins via neutron diffraction and specific gravity
An in situ non-invasive study of two Tibetan manuscripts from the Asian Collection of the Museum of Natural History in Florence
Morphological reconstruction of Roman styli from Iulia Concordia-Italy
Neutron imaging study of 'pattern-welded' swords from the Viking Age
Extraction of archaeological information from metallic artefacts—A neutron diffraction study on Viking swords
Non-invasive characterization through X-ray fluorescence and neutron radiography of an ancient Japanese lacquer
