Obsidians of Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily): A Petrographic, Geochemical and Magnetic Study of Known and New Geological Sources

2020

Abstract This paper provides new petrochemical and paleomagnetic data from obsidian sub-sources on the island of Pantelleria, exploited since the Neolithic. Data has been obtained from 14 obsidian samples from 4 locations: Fossa della Pernice (2 sites), Salto la Vecchia and Balata dei Turchi. Here, we aim to better characterize these obsidians using a cross-disciplinary and multi-analytical approach, to further understand their archaeological significance. Major element analyses (EMP) have enabled two compositional super-groups to be distinguished: (i) Fossa della Pernice, less peralkaline and (ii) Balata dei Turchi–Salto la Vecchia, distinctly more peralkaline and having almost identical c…

Les collections protohistoriques au musée de Lons-le-Saunier, Centre de Conservation et d’étude René Rémond

2020

Since its creation in 1817, the Lons-le-Saunier museum has been intended to house all the archaeological objects unearthed in the Jura department. Even if some collections are not included, the reserves contain most of the finds from the Jura. Protohistory plays an important role, with emblematic sites such as the Planches cave or the Chavéria necropolis. However, these collections have different legal statuses: collections listed in the museum's inventory (old collections and recent acquisitions) and collections kept in the museum but whose entry has not been regularised. With the aim of building a new museum, a vast project must be carried out in order to make the necessary acquisitions a…

Exposer l’âge du Bronze

2021

Exhibitions about the Bronze Age in France are quire a recent affair and only eighteen temporary exhi­bitions, most with their own catalogue, have been curated since 1986. This conference has given us the opportunity to overviev, the exhibitions that have given eirher a regional perspective of the Bronze Age or have focused on a particular theme. ln the last few years, several exhibitions have highlighred non-funerary metal deposits. The museography and public ourreach have varied for each exhibition, but ail have dealt with the difficult question of recontextualisation and how we understand and interpret archaeological data. This is particularly relevant, as the public still knows lirrle o…

Bric-à-brac pour les dieux ?

2017

This book accompanies the exhibition "Bric-à-brac pour les dieux?", produced by the Lons-le-saunier museum in 2017. Some fifteen specialists present the Bronze Age and the state of knowledge concerning the practice of depositing objects in a non-funerary context: analysis of the composition of the sets, study of the forms of the deposits and the places chosen for these practices, morphometric approaches to the objects, etc. The most significant sets are presented in the form of inserts, along with the various summary texts.

Analysis of Sagunto Ibero-Roman votive bronze statuettes by portable X-ray fluorescence

2019

Abstract The main objective of this work was the study of chemical composition of an important collection of Ibero-Roman votive bronze statuettes exposed in the Archaeological Museum of Sagunto (Spain). Precision and accuracy of the measurements were obtained developing a proper analytical method, also avoiding any possible damage to the studied objects using a portable energy dispersive X- ray fluorescence system. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to discriminate between groups based on ratios Fe/Cu, Pb/Cu, Sn/Cu, Ag/Cu, Ni/Cu and Impurities/Cu were employed to observe differences between the used smelting, manufacturing processes and raw materials. The characterisation of bronze statuet…

Las esculturas encargadas por Carlos V a Leone Leoni en 1549 y su acabado en España por Pompeo Leoni

2013

In Brussels in 1549 Charles V commissioned four bronze and four marble sculptures from Leone Leoni, to which were added new orders. The sculptor worked on them, especially the bronzes, in Milan, and they were shipped to Spain along with other works at the time of the arrival of the Emperor and the Court. This article discusses the history and evolution of the marbles and a bust (Prado Museum: E-260, E-262, E-267, E-269, E-291), which were sent from Genoa to Cartagena, where they remained until 1568. After years of neglect, Pompeo Leoni was commissioned to arrange for their transfer to his house in Madrid along with Juan de Lugano, artist and dealer in marbles, where Pompeo finished most of …
