Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest precious stone, being used for glyptic as early as 7000 years ago. Only few sources of Lapis Lazuli exist in the world due to the low...

In the frame of neu_ART project, financially supported by Regione Piemonte (Italy), we are investigating the possibility to perform neutron radiography and tomography of...

We propose the investigation of four slag samples coming from an Iron Age furnace in Hüttenberg (Hesse Region, Austria). The materials we intend to measure were recovered from...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging...

In a preliminary study we investigated the metal characteristics of Harquebusier breastplates. The main body is ferrite (source bloomery iron). The object shows corrosion in the...

Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest precious stone, being used for glyptic as early as 7000 years ago. Only few sources of Lapis Lazuli exist in the world due to the low...

The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze structural properties and composition of different series of Celtic drachmas (mainly from Torino Antiquities Museums). We would...

We poropse to study the effect of postion, varaiation of distance and jaw size on a configuration of two Cu plates on the INES diffractometer in order to obtain informaton on...

One of our long-term aims is a detailed study of Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London (which has over one thousand items, and is the most important...

We propose to test a high-resolution, light-intensified CCD camera system on INES for neutron radiography. The potential use of such a system on INES for radiographic purposes...

Mesopotamian iron oxide objects in the form of Roll seals and Weight are typical for the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 2000-1600 B.C.). In the museums they are usually cataloged as...

The present application focuses on the mineral phase determination of the pottery matrix. Samples of coarse grain temper (organic and inorganic, i.e., chaff, grog (=broken...

The proposed experiment is part of a study on the synthesis and characterization of Ti-Al-V alloys for hydrogen storage systems. We propose to investigate by neutron...

The aim of the present work is to place the meteorites found on Earth back onto the Moon or planets from where it is assumed they come. In this context, to approach the above...

The development of neutron radiography and tomography techniques using a portable equipment based on a compact neutron generator and innovative detector system is of great...

We propose to determine the bronze composition of the different parts of two Renaissance Bronzes. These bronzes are of mutiple parts which have been joined together. Added by...

We propose to measure three parts of a full suit of armour pertaining to the Stibbert Museum in Florence (Italy) which recent studies on leather and fabric components of it,...

Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting...
