Abstract

A wide production of ecclesiastical artefacts is traceable in Sicily between the 17th and 19th centuries, admirable in many diocesan museums. Nevertheless, these artefacts were never studied from an archaeometric point of view: Beyond their historical value, it is time to understand whether the information concerning the decorating gemstones is reliable. In situ investigations through portable instrumentations (Raman spectroscopy and portable X-ray fluorescence) were performed on the gems decorating monstrances, a reliquary, and an archbishop's insignia, kept in two museums at Caltagirone (Sicily). The analyses in some cases confirmed the identification, whereas in others they contradicted the pre-existing information.

西西里岛(17 -19世纪)历史教会文物上的宝石首次洞察:一项非侵入性调查
在17世纪到19世纪之间的西西里岛,大量的教会文物被收藏在许多教区的博物馆里,令人钦佩。然而,这些文物从来没有从考古学的角度进行研究:除了它们的历史价值之外,现在是时候了解有关装饰宝石的信息是否可靠了。通过便携式仪器(拉曼光谱和便携式x射线荧光)对装饰圣器的宝石、圣物箱和大主教徽章进行了现场调查,这些宝石保存在Caltagirone(西西里岛)的两个博物馆中。在某些情况下,分析证实了这一识别,而在另一些情况下,它们与预先存在的信息相矛盾。

期刊介绍: Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
