Abstract

“Multi-method-approach” has now been for many years the buzzword in marble provenance analysis. Nevertheless a true combination of the results of different analytical methods is rarely applied in the sense of the combined simultaneous use of a large number of analytically obtained numerical variables. It is demonstrated here that the combination of data from isotope analysis, chemical data, and data from the chemical analysis of inclusion fluids of an artefact and of course in combination with a corresponding database enhances substantially the accuracy of marble provenance analysis. It is explicitly pointed out that the unchallenged collection of data of the chemical composition of marbles from different sources (and different analytical procedures) most probably implies severe differences in their comparability. Exemplarily presented is the nearly perfect discrimination of the most important fine-grained marbles and furthermore the possibility of the intra-site discrimination of the three Carrara districts and the assignment of two portrait heads to the Carrara Torano quarries.

利用地球化学方法确定古代白色大理石的来源

多年来，“多方法分析”一直是大理石来源分析的流行语。然而，在同时使用大量解析得到的数值变量的意义上，很少应用不同分析方法的结果的真正组合。结果表明，同位素分析数据、化学分析数据、人工制品包裹体流体化学分析数据以及相应的数据库相结合，大大提高了大理石物源分析的准确性。有人明确指出，从不同来源(和不同的分析方法)收集的大理石化学成分数据很可能意味着它们的可比性存在严重差异。举个例子，对最重要的细粒大理石进行了近乎完美的识别，此外，对卡拉拉三个地区进行遗址内识别的可能性，以及将两个肖像头像分配给卡拉拉托拉诺采石场。

期刊介绍： Mineralogy and Petrology welcomes manuscripts from the classical fields of mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, crystallography, as well as their applications in academic experimentation and research, materials science and engineering, for technology, industry, environment, or society. The journal strongly promotes cross-fertilization among Earth-scientific and applied materials-oriented disciplines. Purely descriptive manuscripts on regional topics will not be considered. Mineralogy and Petrology was founded in 1872 by Gustav Tschermak as "Mineralogische und Petrographische Mittheilungen". It is one of Europe''s oldest geoscience journals. Former editors include outstanding names such as Gustav Tschermak, Friedrich Becke, Felix Machatschki, Josef Zemann, and Eugen F. Stumpfl.
