Combining neutron techniques in a study on the earliest large hollow cast bronze statues from ancient Egypt

DOI

The experiment proposed is part of a larger study on the production of large cast bronze statues in ancient Egypt. Many archaeometallurgical innovations occurred in ancient Egypt, as, for example, the introduction of the lost-wax technique. Therefore, it is of a great interest understanding as many details as possible about how large hollow cast statues were produced in ancient Egypt, to better understand the development of casting techniques in antiquity. ENGIN-X is proposed to be used in combination with IMAT to acquire microstructural information on points of interest that will be highlighted with the neutron images. In particular, it will be used to understand how details of the decoration were produced, the possible original presence of textile and details about the joins and the core material.
