Abstract
Bucchero is a well-known class of Etruscan ceramics, characterized by being entirely black both on the surface and in the body. In the present investigation, a representative set of bucchero sherds from the excavations of the Etruscan town of Tarquinia (Viterbo, Italy) was analyzed through flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and near-infrared (NIR) reflection spectroscopy. Both elemental and mineralogical composition data were treated with methods of multivariate analysis. It was thus possible to discriminate between local and imported production, to estimate the firing temperature and to verify the origin of the grey-black color in this peculiar ceramic class. Furthermore, a virtual reconstruction of a bucchero vase starting from fragments was also attempted on the basis of chemical analysis data.
布切罗是伊特鲁里亚陶瓷中著名的一类,其特点是表面和内部都是完全黑色的。本文采用火焰原子吸收光谱(FAAS)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和近红外反射光谱(NIR)对意大利维特博(Viterbo)伊特鲁里亚塔奎尼亚镇(Etruscan town of Tarquinia)出土的一组具有代表性的布切罗碎片进行了分析。元素和矿物组成数据均采用多元分析方法进行处理。这样就有可能区分本地生产和进口生产,估计烧制温度,并核实这种特殊陶瓷中灰黑色的来源。此外,在化学分析数据的基础上,还尝试了从碎片开始的布切罗花瓶的虚拟重建。
