Fragments of painted limestone reliefs from the Palace Apries in Upper Egypt excavated by Flinders Petrie 1908–1910 have been investigated using visible-induced luminescence imaging, micro X-ray fluorescence, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The pigments mapped, use previous reports are discussed. Mainly lead–antimonate yellow, lead–tin orpiment, atacamite, gypsum/anhydrite, Egyptian blue detected....
Abstract In 1688 two sculptural fragments, a head of bearded man and an unbearded youth, arrived in Copenhagen, sent from Athens as gift to King Christian 5. They were placed the Royal Kunstkammer, their provenance given Temple Artemis Ephesos, one Seven Wonders World. Almost hundred fifty years later, early 1820’s they noticed studied by scholars independently visiting Kunstkammer. However, both concluded that heads belonged metopes decorating south side Parthenon temple on Acropolis...
Abstract Efforts to read medieval manuscript waste recycled as bookbinding material in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have resulted chemical analysis of four books housed at University Library Southern Denmark Smithsonian Libraries Washington DC. Four green coloured book bindings been investigated by optical microscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence, diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, mass laser ablation inductively coupled plasma spectrometry. The results show that pigments used obscure...
Abstract Variation in the trace element chemistry of cortical bone microstructure is delineated for interred and non-interred human femora. This was done to investigate range concentrations that might occur within single bones, specifically original laminar later osteons, its potential investigating chemical life histories. To do so, femora were chosen from individuals who experienced quite different ways over past two millennia. The distributions Sr, Ba, Cu, Pb, mostly partial (early)...
Abstract For medieval and post-medieval Denmark northern Germany, trace elements can potentially contribute to our understanding of diet, migration, social status, exposure urban settings, disease treatment. Copper, particular interest as a marker access everyday metal items, be used clarify socioeconomic distinctions between within communities. Postmortem alteration bone (diagenesis), however, must ruled out before the characterize life in past. Femoral cortical samples ca. 40 mg were...
Abstract Lead-glazed potsherds from archaeological excavations at six Renaissance (1536–1660 CE) sites in southern Denmark and northern Germany have been subjected to etching experiments using 4 wt% acetic acid. The extracts of 45 sherds were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. At one site, the ducal hunting castle Grøngaard, Pb levels acid glazed dishes so high (up 29,000 µg cm −2 day −1 ) that acute toxic effects likely occurred if used for serving food containing...
Abstract Two types of materials were sampled as part an investigation the relics Holy Catholic Church Apostles St Philip and James in Basilica dei Santi Apostoli Rome: bone- mummy-materials architectural samples. The analyses encompassed radiocarbon dating, thermoluminescence gas liquid chromatographic separation with mass spectrometric detection, X-Ray fluorescence, diffraction, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. results...
Individuals buried in two 17th–18th Century private chapels, each attached to a Franciscan Friary—one Italy the other Denmark—have been studied and sampled for trace element analysis. This selection of individuals allows comparison inventory members noble families against friars townspeople, as well between very similar situations Denmark Italy. The relevance this study is see if how differences social status, therefore likely dietary habits, are reflected chemistry bones. Samples cortical...
The white enamel surfaces of ten Chinese painted enamels dating to the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods (1736–1820) were studied with Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICPMS). These are opacified lead arsenate, a dramatic change in technology from fluorite stannite opacification used European before 18th century. primary goal this project was test hypothesis that boron is significant component enamels. Borax (Na₂[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·8H₂O) by glassmakers working imperial workshops...
La vaste distribution des amphores de type Gauloise 4 dans le monde méditerranéen durant Haut-Empire témoigne l’intense activité du commerce vinaire la Narbonnaise cette période. diffusion ce d’amphore Péninsule ibérique, attestée par quelques amphores, demeure encore mal connue. récente découverte à Carthagène plusieurs fragments présentant fortes ressemblances avec les productions nous a conduits réaliser une série d’analyses chimiques afin assurer leur provenance. Ainsi, huit ont été...
La carte d'identité de la céramique tournée médiévale d'Autelbas a été établie par des analyses pétrographiques, granulométiques, géochimiques et diffractométriques. est constituée une argile fine, non calcaire, kaolinique grains quartz (dans gamme granulométrique silts ou sables très fins), sans ajout dégraissant. pétrographie conjuguée à géochimie démontre que les tessons analysés forment un lot homogène indicatif d'une source d'argile unique mélange. matière première plastique grise...

Abstract The present study reports a series of interdisciplinary archaeometrical analyses objects found in the Christmas Cave, which was discovered by John Allegro and his team 1960 on West Bank Dead Sea assumed to be inhabited only Chalcolithic era Jewish refugees second century CE, at end Bar Kokhba Revolt. Like many other Judaean desert caves, there an abundance organic material, especially textiles, surviving dry environment. In absence clear stratigraphy even proper publication finds,...
L’analyse archéométrique de la production céramique Tourinnes-Saint-Lambert démontre que l’argile tertiaire locale (argile claire associée à transition Paléocène/Éocène) affleurant sous les loess a été utilisée pour fabrication d’un répertoire formes majoritairement identique celui des ateliers Tirlemont mais comportant aussi l’une ou l’autre originalité locale. Certaines argiles ont dégraissées au sable fin local lui aussi. Les parois fours sont construites partir du local, tandis certaines...
Abstract A sample of 128 pottery shards curated by the National Museum Denmark, from seven archaeological sites in US Virgin Islands, has been dated using thermoluminescence dating (TL) technique with purpose refining local pre-colonial chronology. The results TL-dating generally confirm chronologies offered Wild for St. John and there is considerable variation identified traditional frameworks due to overlap distributions various styles. this study show that Islands offer a viable space...
