Multi-technique approach and complementary techniques

Oral presentation

In ancient China during the Shang dynasty, ca. 1600-1046 BCE, jade and bronze dagger-axes (ge) were used by the elite as ritual symbols of power and prestige. These ceremonial weapons consist of a nephrite jade [Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2] blade mounted in a bronze haft. Several of these daggers are held by the Smithsonian Institution, and their conservators are interested in applying neutron...

Multi-technique approach and complementary techniques

Oral presentation

Beads appear to have been one of the earliest examples of personal adornments. The analyzed beads come from Pit 40, a funerary secondary deposition of cremated remains of more than a hundred individuals. The pit is located in the center of Perdigões (Évora, Portugal) ditched enclosures and is dated from the third quarter of the 3rd millennium BC. The beads were burned and were part of the...

42. Multi-technique archaeometallurgical investigations of metal objects from the Marche Region, Italy

Multi-technique approach and complementary techniques

Oral presentation

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...
