Description
This review article is related to multi-technique approaches and complementary techniques adopted to investigate various metal archaeological objects of the Marche Region, Italy, belonging to different contexts. In particular, prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA), time-of-flight neutron diffraction (TOF-ND), neutron radiography (NR), small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) were successfully employed, obtaining new information on material microstructure and origin of the investigated objects.
The obtained results contribute to the identification, valorisation and evaluation of conservation posed by these Cultural Heritage (CH) artefacts, addressing diverse real case studies and including different art-historical and archaeological questions (e.g., manufacturing methodologies and dating).
The considered advanced physical characterization techniques, finally, supply a major help in increasing scientific examinations and diffusion of CH findings.
