Marks and Epigraphs on Iberian Amphorae. II
2015
Se presenta la segunda parte del repertorio de marcas y epígrafes sobre ánforas ibéricas, con la intención de completar un fenómeno heredero del mundo púnico. Se pretende ir acotando el/los posible/s significado/s de tales marcas, su distribución territorial y su marco cronológico. Las marcas incisas son, en esta ocasión, más numerosas que las impresas y se ha detectado una nueva técnica postcocción (con pintura y carbón) restringida al noreste peninsular. This paper is the second part of the repertoire of marks and epigraphs on Iberian amphorae. The goal is to complete this work, which is related to the Punic world, and know the possible meanings of such marks, their geographical distribut…
The blue enamels in the baroque decorations of the churches of Palermo, Sicily: Fe2+-coloured glasses from lime kilns
2009
Deep blue glasses coloured by octahedral Fe 2+ cations are often reported as textbook examples of blue pigmentation. However, despite the possibility of laboratory synthesis under reducing conditions, to date there are no well-reported occurrences of their production and use in the past. A thorough historical, ethnographic, mineralogical, and chemico-physical investigation of the 'smaltini di calcara' from several baroque churches in Palermo, Sicily, has revealed that the blue enamels widely used for altar decorations in the 17th and 18th centuries are actually a unique case of ancient blue glasses pigmented by divalent iron cations in distorted octahedral coordination. This mixed-alkali gl…
EDXRF analysis of blue pigments used in Valencian ceramics from the 14th century to modern times
2006
Abstract EDXRF analyses of cobalt-blue pigments were performed on 73 pieces of Valencian ceramics from the beginning of the 14th century up to the 20th century. In 67 of such samples, the pigment decoration was applied together with a tin opacified lead glaze cover on the clay body. In five samples the pigment was applied on the clay body without a glaze cover. The comparison between EDXRF spectra from coloured and non-coloured areas contains information about the pigment composition. Elements like Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and As are identified as characteristic of blue pigments; different associations of these elements were found and correlated with the chronology of the samples. The results…
Spectroscopic analysis used to uncover the original paint colour of the Helsinki Government Palace tower clock faces
2016
The paint stratigraphy of the two clock faces from the tower clock of the Government Palace in Helsinki (Finland) was analysed in order to determine their original colour before restoration works. Paint cross-section samples from both clock faces were analysed by confocal Raman microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS). The results revealed the complex superimposition of paint layers applied over the original black colour. FTIR/ATR analyses proved that the original paint was prepared with linseed oil-resin media. Most likely not all of the different layer colours were visible. Some of the layers were likely to have been a primer…
Analyzing chemical changes in verdigris pictorial specimens upon bacteria and fungi biodeterioration using voltammetry of microparticles
2017
[EN] It is reported the application of the voltammetry of microparticles (VMP), complemented with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques, to monitor the deterioration of verdigris pictorial specimens under the action of different biological agents. This methodology would be of application for identifying the type of biological agent causing deterioration of paintings, which is an important problem affecting cultural heritage. The analysis of biodeterioration processes is complicated by the fact that the action of microorganisms can affect both pigment and binding media. The deteriorat…
Andalusian hauberk identifiers. A new example
2019
El trabajo está dedicado a una nueva pequeña chapa circular de metal con inscripción incisa en árabe. Aporta la lectura y traducción de su texto y sitúa el objeto en un grupo especial dentro de la metalística medieval islámica. Es el quinto ejemplo que se conoce. Eran piezas que iban sujetas a cotas de malla del ejército cordobés con la función de identificarlas para reintegrarlas al arsenal después de que fueran usadas. Es de la época del califato de Hišām II. The article deals with a new small metal disk with an Arabic inscription incised on it. The study gives the reading and translation of its text and places the object in the Islamic medieval metalwork group it belongs to. It is the fi…
Tres inscripciones romanas de la provincia de Cuenca
2018
La provincia de Cuenca reúne en estos momentos algo más de 1200 inscripciones romanas, de las que la mayor parte procede de Segobriga y, en menor medida, de Valeria. Eso puede dar idea del elevado hábito epigráfico de la región y explica la sucesión de hallazgos ocasionales de nuevos testimonios como los que presentamos. Este trabajo se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto de investigación Sociedad romana y hábito epigráfico en la Hispania citerior, HAR2015-65168-P (MINECO/FEDER), subvencionado por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad del Gobierno de España.
Invocaciones duplicadas a los dioses Manes en inscripciones romanas de Hispania
2018
Presentamos en estas páginas ocho testimonios de inscripciones romanas que muestran la repetición de la fórmula D(is) M(anibus) s(acrum) o D(is) M(anibus). Todos los textos pueden ser datados entre los ss. II y III. La distribución geográfica de estos textos demuestra que se trata de testimonios aislados y que no guardan entre ellos ninguna relación. This article presents eight Roman inscriptions found in Hispania with reiteration of epigraphic formula D(is) M(anibus) s(acrum) or D(is) M(anibus). All these testimonies can be dated between the II and III centuries A.D. The geographical distribution shows isolated samples without connection. Este trabajo se ha realizado en el marco del proyec…

A new interpretation.
CIL II 897 y 901, de Talavera de la Reina. Avatares de dos inscripciones reencontradas

En este trabajo presentamos el estudio de dos altares funerarios hallados en Talavera de la Reina, provincia de Toledo, que fueron publicados por E. Hübner en el CIL II con los números 897 y 901, y que han sido reencontrados en una colección privada en Valencia.
