ToF ND investigation of Medieval double-edged swords
The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of... -
Gold and Silver fire gilding of copper/bronze objects
By means of the NRCA signal generated by objects on the INES beam line we intend to quantify the amount of gold and silver applied on the surface of art objects. Replica samples... -
Characterization of texture of bronze standards through Bragg edge diffractio...
The Bragg edge transmission technique (BET) is a diffraction method exploiting the edges appearing in the transmitted neutron spectra crossing polycrystalline materials and is... -

The analysis of Medieval European helmets in the Wallace Collection and elsew...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains over two thousand items and is one of the most important... -
Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron... -
Characterization of a relative residual strain map of an Indian sword by neutron
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to achieve a good level of characterization of the artefacts studied by traditional... -
The correlation of metallography with neutron diffraction for Indo-Persian ar...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as... -
Non-invasive study of Indian sword blades
The Wallace Collection, London has one of the most important collections of Indian Arms & Armour outside the subcontinent. Museum objects must be studied non-destructively,... -
Technological study of Nuragic Bronze boat models (Sardinia, Italy)
The production of Nuragic Bronze Figurines represents a rich historical archive that provides key information not only about the iconography but also about the metal production... -
Copy of: Characterization of Indo-Persian blades of the Wallace Collection
This experiment is a continuation of a previous one aiming to analyse the composition and microstructure of Indo-Persian swords and daggers of the Wallace Collection whose... -
ToF-ND microstructural imaging for 17th-18th c. European sword blades.
The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are... -

The manufacturing of Middle and Late Bronze Age Ceremonial Weapons .
We propse to study the phase and strain distributions on ENGIN_X of a Middle and Late Bronze Age weapon: a dirk (dagger) and a sword. The objects are from the National Museum of... -
Estimating carbon contents in historical European blades through neutron diff...
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades. Japanese sword... -
