Investigation on four centuripe vases (late 3rd-2nd cent. B.C.) by portable X-ray fluorescence and total reflectance-FTIR
2021
Abstract Four Centuripe vases dated back to the late 3rd-2nd centuries B.C. were analysed using imaging under visible and ultra-violet illumination as well as complementary non-invasive and non-destructive portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Total Reflectance – Fourier Transform InfraRed (TR-FTIR) spectroscopies. The vases are of great importance since they represent a rare expression of the Hellenistic vase painting. Four specimens, a “pyxis”, a “lebes gamikos” and two “lekanides” decorated with figures of different type, are exhibited in the Antonino Salinas Archaeological Museum in Palermo-Italy. The investigation was aimed to identify the used pigments and the painting technique, to r…
Indagini diagnostiche sui “Vasi di Centuripe” del Museo Archeologico Regionale “A. Salinas” di Palermo
2020
In questa saggio si intende presentare i risultati delle indagini diagnostiche eseguite in situ sui vasi centuripini conservati presso il Museo Archeologico Regionale “A. Salinas” di Palermo. Le indagini, condotte nell’ottica della multidisciplinarità insieme ad archeologi e restauratori, sono state applicate per step via via più approfonditi a partire dalle tecniche globali di immaging con luce visibile ed UV per lo studio della superfice, proseguendo con quelle puntuali di spettroscopia XRF ed FT-IR per lo studio dei pigmenti, del legante e dello strato di preparazione. In this essay we intend to present the results of the diagnostic investigations carried out in situ on the centuripine v…
