2 Techniques used in art and archaeology Informa6on Induc&vely- coupled plasma: emission spectroscopy mass spectroscopy Scanning electron microscopy + X- ray diffrac&on X- ray microanalysis; X- ray fluorescence; X- ray diffrac&on Proton- induced X- ray emission Neutron ac&va&on analysis Elemental analysis of glass; trace element and isotope analysis of medieval metal weapons; Pigments in ancient ceramics; Greek and Roman podery analysis; Pigments in wall pain&ngs/oil pain&ngs/illuminated manuscripts/polychromed sculpture; medieval coins; Elemental analysis of Greek copper coins; Pigments in Minoan ceramics; Minor and trace elements in obsidian; Laser- induced breakdown spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; Infra- red spectroscopy Pigments in a Byzan&ne icon;

3 Superb detec&on limits Superb accuracy Excellent for trace elements Excellent for minor components BUT Requires sample to be removed; Destruc&ve method

4 Techniques used in art and archaeology Informa6on Induc&vely- coupled plasma: emission spectroscopy mass spectroscopy Scanning electron microscopy + X- ray microanalysis X- ray fluorescence; X- ray diffrac&on Proton- induced X- ray emission Neutron ac&va&on analysis Elemental analysis of glass; trace element and isotope analysis of medieval metal weapons; Pigments in ancient ceramics; Greek and Roman podery analysis; Pigments in wall pain&ngs/oil pain&ngs/illuminated manuscripts/polychromed sculpture; medieval coins; Elemental analysis of Greek copper coins; Pigments in Minoan ceramics; Minor and trace elements in obsidian; Laser- induced breakdown spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; Infra- red spectroscopy Pigments in a Byzan&ne icon;

5 Excellent magnifica&on Excellent spa&al informa&on Sample needs to be in vacuum Sample needs to be coated SO Another destruc&ve method

Santhosh, Head CAMP hdp://

12 Raman Spectroscopy in Archaeology and Art History a non- destruc&ve method for: characterising chemical composi8on; characterising structure; determining provenance of objects of archaeological, historical importance; determining authen8city of objects of archaeological, historical importance. Prac&cal u&lity demonstrated in studies of: Dyes and Pigments; Artefacts; Biological Materials and their degrada&on; Jewellery and Precious Stones.

13 Raman Spectroscopy applied to studies of: Five Romano- Bri8sh Villas; The Domis Coiedii at Suasa, Italy; Xth Century Manuscript Beato de Valcavdo; Frescoes; a polychrome 16th- century Italian fresco; Etruscan pomery; Phase Analysis of Third Millenium Syrian Ceramics by Micro- Raman; Archaeological Biomaterials: Ochred Bones and Resins; Chinese Scrolls and other Fluorescent samples; Ancient Tex8le Fibres; Analysis of nephrite jade; Mesoamerican Jade; Database exists of 74 Raman Spectra of Standard Minerals [metal corrosion, stained glass, Prehistoric rock art]

14 Infra- red Spectroscopy of Ceramics from Tell Brak, Syria M.L. Eiland and Q. Williams, Journal of Archaeological Science, 27 (2000) Infra- red microspectroscopy, in both reflectance and transmission geometries, applied to archaeological ceramics samples: Tell Brak, Syria; Three periods: the Halaf/Ubaid, Akkadian and 2nd millennium. Provides constraints on mineralogic make- up of ceramic bodies and coa8ngs. From the mineralogy, deduce, thus, the firing temperature. Iden8fy local and imported components; Iden8fy developments in firing technology.

15 Laser- induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

16 Laser- induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) Diagnose plasma in &me- resolved and spectrally- resolved fashion; Almost non- destruc&ve crater ~1-10 μm deep, ~ μm wide, ng material used; No sampling; no sample prepara&on; Spectrum can be accumulated in single laser shot.very fast! No ionizing radia&ons.
