Defining workshop practices in high-quality 1st century AD Roman bronze artef...
Two intact first century AD Romano-British tombs containing rich assemblages of grave offerings were excavated in 2007 by Oxford Archaeology near a section of the A2 route in... -
In-situ high resolution strain mapping under tension and torsional loading us...
It is proposed to use ENGIN-X for proof-of-concept investigations of BCC Fe (possibly also hex. Mg and FCC Al) alloys under multi axial loading, while simultaneously acquiring... -
Corrosion study of antique bronze coins
The Numismatic Collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) Vienna has a large collection of ancient Greek bronze coins. A considerable number of these leaded bronze coins... -
Crystal Texture in Late Medieval Lead Artefacts
Two lead roundshot have been recovered during archaeological field survey at the Towton battlefield site (1461 AD). Energy selective neutron tomography has shown there are... -
Crystallographic determination of the minting of coins in Tudor Britain : an ...
King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, offers a unique insight into Tudor life. As well as her value as one of the first purpose built warships of the modern period,... -
Composition and texture of ternary and quaternary bronzes to improve a non-de...
Antique bronze objects made of Cu-Sn/Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised; unfortunately, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common ternary... -
Copy of: Continued development of high resolution Bragg edge time of flight t...
We propose to conduct experiments to further the technological and scientific development of micro-channel plate neutron detection systems for high spatial and time-of-flight... -
Neutron diffraction study of the casting technology of antique bronze coins
Neutron tomography data on high-Pb antique bronze coins indicated that two different copper alloy phases are formed during the casting process. We propose to use GEM for... -
Texture analysis and TOF-ND on pre-roman bronze fibulas
TOF-Neutron Diffraction experiments conducted on significant archaeological findings from the pre-roman Ligurian settlement of Guardamonte (Monte Vallassa) have shown unusual... -
Characterization of the neutron imaging parameters on INES
The aim of the proposal is the quantitative determination of the geometrical parameters and count rate parameters of an imaging device on INES. The measurements will provide the... -
Late antique copper-alloys from Faragola, San Giusto and Canusium (Puglia, It...
From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up... -
The effect of heat treatment temperature on the texture development of the hi...
The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Fabrication Residual Stresses in Boiler Bifurcations
Recently, a number of creep cracks have been found in complex pipe to pipe intersections, referred to as bifurcations in the boilers of the UK¿s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors... -
In Situ Torsional Testing to study hkl strains and phase transformation in TR...
No diffraction studies have specifically aimed to study the (hkl) specific strain in polycrystals under the application of pure shear. A technique is proposed that has been... -
Verifying recycling and reshaping activity on Copper and Early Bronze Age met...
The aim of this study is to determinate the production methods of metal artefacts from the Alpine region in the Copper and Early Bronze Age. In particular, patterns indicating... -
An analysis of British Iron Age coins from the Hallaton hoard
The aim of this experiment is to analyse the composition and texture of a number of coins from the North Eastern series of Roman coins that form part of the Hallaton hoard.... -
3D neutron TOF diffraction imaging
We propose to use SXD for mapping the crystallographic phases in an extended 3D benchmark object. The phase distribution will be reconstructed using a geometrical aberration... -
Neutron diffraction experiments on an Etruscan vase
An antique vase from an Etruscan necropolis was made available for neutron-based experiments at ISIS. Preliminary studies on this sample have shown unusual features and opened... -
Test of a high-resolution CCD camera for neutron radiography
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...
