Determining the provenance of the European glass beads of Lumbu (Mbanza Kongo, Angola) Universiteit Gent
A collection of glass beads found in Lumbu (Mbanza Kongo, Angola) were analyzed by means of a multi-analytical minimally invasive methodology, which included handheld X-ray fluorescence (hXRF), variable pressure scanning electron microscope coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (VP-SEM-EDS), micro-Raman spectroscopy and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Trace element analysis, and rare earth ...
Comparison of the performance of two handheld XRF instruments in the study of Roman tesserae from Cástulo (Linares, Spain) Universiteit Gent
Cultural Heritage objects are frequently unavailable for transportation to laboratory facilities due to their size, location or local Cultural Heritage preservation regulations. The development of handheld XRF (hXRF) systems has, therefore, proven to be essential in the study of unmovable objects. In this study, two handheld XRF instruments-Bruker (TM) Tracer III SD (R) and Olympus (TM) Innov-X Delta Premium-were compared and evaluated using ...
Multi-analytical approach to the study of the European glass beads found in the tombs of Kulumbimbi (Mbanza Kongo, Angola) Universiteit Gent
The glass bead assemblages recovered during the 2014 excavations of the ruins of Kulumbimbi located in Mbanza Kongo (Angola) were analyzed by means of a multi-analytical minimally invasive methodology, which includes handheld X-ray fluorescence (hXRF), variable pressure scanning electron microscope coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (VP-SEM-EDS), micro-Raman spectroscopy and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass ...
Pigments and colourants Universiteit Gent
Pigments and colourants are materials that have an enormous impact on how artworks are appreciated. Therefore{,} it is no surprise that since the first applications of Raman spectroscopy in art analysis{,} the study of this group of materials has gained special attention. Whereas the first applications often involved the identification of (mostly inorganic) pigments{,} the field has broadened towards the analysis of organic materials{,} such as ...
