The Voltammetry of Microparticles (VMP) is an analytical technique mainly applied to the industrial field. The present work explores its utility in Archaeology, through the identification of the mineral composition of ...

Mineral colorants are frequent in the Holocene archaeological record of the Southeastern Pampean region, but they have been often unexplored. This paper presents the results of macroscopic analysis, and thin section and ...

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify pigments on an Egyptian cartonnage from the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC). While XPS allowed us to perform a qualitative chemical analysis and ...

The skeletal remains of seven individuals were excavated in a secondary burial context in the site of Cima de los Huesos, in the San Matías Gulf (Río Negro, Argentina). AMS dating of two samples for this site to 1173 ± 45 ...

This paper reports on an unknown yellowish mineral compound found in an archaeological context from Chorrillos cemetery (Calama, Chile) dating to the Early Formative period (800 - 200 B.C.). We used optic microscopy, SEM, ...

Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) were used to study pigments on an Egyptian cartonnage from the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC). The surface ...

The results of an analysis of pigments used in slips and designs deployed in ceramic assemblages recovered from archaeological sites located in different environments, expressing the socio-historical process developed in ...
