Abstract

ABSTRACT A multi-analytical approach was used to characterize color remains from Xalla, a Teotihuacan palace complex (project Teotihuacan, Elite and Government. Excavations in Xalla led by Linda R. Manzanilla). Color samples were obtained from polished lithic instruments and pigment ores. Those samples were analyzed combining microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Our results coincide with previous studies in Teotihuacan, with the chromatic palette displaying a predominance of iron oxides such as hematite, yellow ochre and natural earths, as well as malachite, celadonite and glauconite. We have enlarged the corpus of raw materials with the characterization of jarosite and bone white and mica as aggregate. The identification of raw materials crossed with functional analysis of polished lithic artefacts suggests a production and application process for the pigmenting materials that were divided in four phases, from the crushing of the raw material to the application and finishing of the painted surfaces.

特奥蒂瓦坎哈拉宫殿建筑群中色彩生产的特征

摘要:采用多分析方法对特奥蒂瓦坎(Teotihuacan, Elite and Government)宫殿建筑群Xalla的颜色遗骸进行了表征。由琳达·r·曼萨尼拉(Linda R. Manzanilla)领导的Xalla发掘工作)。从抛光的石制仪器和颜料矿石中获得颜色样品。这些样品结合了显微镜和光谱技术进行了分析。我们的结果与之前在特奥蒂瓦坎的研究结果一致，颜色调色板显示出氧化铁的优势，如赤铁矿、黄赭石和天然土，以及孔雀石、青瓷和海绿石。我们以黄钾铁矾、骨白和云母为骨料，扩大了原料的范围。原材料的鉴定与抛光石器文物的功能分析相结合，表明颜料材料的生产和应用过程分为四个阶段，从原材料的粉碎到涂漆表面的应用和整理。图形抽象
