Study Of The Soluble Salts Formation In A Recently Restored House Of Pompeii By In-Situ Raman Spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01-25)
The walls and mural paintings of Pompeii exposed directly to the rainfalls are the most impacted in view of the observed decay. However, there are also wall paintings in protected rooms showing evidences of decaying. The ...
Multianalytical Approach to explain the darkening process of hematite pigment in paintings from ancient Pompeii after accelerated weathering experiments
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-10-17)
[EN] In this paper, recently excavated fresco painting fragments from the House of Marcus Lucretius (Pompeii) and not exposed to the atmosphere since the eruption of the Mount Vesuvius were subjected to a controlled SO2 ...
The SuperCam Instrument Suite on the Mars 2020 Rover: Science Objectives and Mast-Unit Description
(Springer, 2021-04)
On the NASA 2020 rover mission to Jezero crater, the remote determination of the texture, mineralogy and chemistry of rocks is essential to quickly and thoroughly characterize an area and to optimize the selection of samples ...
The potential of in situ Raman spectroscopy in the study of the health of cement-based materials of modern buildings during restoration works
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Although Raman spectroscopy is a common technique for the analysis of cement-based materials in the research studies or in the field of Cultural Heritage to carried out multianalytical studies, it is not generally used as ...
In situ non-invasive multianalytical methodology to characterize mosaic tesserae from the House of Gilded Cupids, Pompeii
(Springer, 2019-12)
Mosaics, one of the most important decorative artworks in the Roman culture, were usually elaborated with a set of tesserae joined with lime or others binders to form geometric or figurative decorations. The identification ...
Raman imaging to quantify the thermal transformation degree of Pompeian yellow ochre caused by the 79 AD Mount Vesuvius eruption
(Springer, 2019-11-07)
Most of the wall paintings from Pompeii are decorated with red and yellow colors but the thermal impact of 79 AD MountVesuvius eruption promoted the partial transformation of some yellow-painted areas into red. The aim of ...
Analytical Techniques Applied to the Study of Industrial Archaeology Heritage: The Case of Plaiko Zubixe Footbridge
(MDPI, 2022)
[EN] In this work, micro-Raman spectroscopy and micro-energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (µ-EDXRF) were applied on microsamples taken from the Plaiko Zubixe footbridge (1927) located in Ondarroa (Basque ...
Metals and metalloids in high-altitude Pyrenean lakes: sources and distribution in pre-industrial and modern sediments
(Springer, 2023-07)
High-altitude Pyrenean lakes are ecosystems far from local pollution sources, and thus they are particularly sensitive to the
atmospheric deposition of metals and metalloids. This study aims to quantify the effect of human ...
Development of a Novel Method for the In-Situ Dechlorination of Immovable Iron Elements: Optimization of Cl- Extraction Yield Through Experimental Design
(Springer, 2021-05-24)
The conservation of iron objects exposed to marine aerosol is threatened by the formation of akaganeite, a highly unstable Cl-bearing corrosion phase. As akaganeite formation is responsible of the exfoliation of the rust ...
Multispectroscopic and Isotopic Ratio Analysis To Characterize the Inorganic Binder Used on Pompeian Pink and Purple Lake Pigments
(ACS Publications, 2016-05-18)
Because of the fact that pigments are not ubiquitous in the archeological record, the application of noninvasive analytical methods is a necessity. In this work, pink and purple lake pigments recovered from the excavations ...
