Climate Change and Cultural Heritage: From Small- to Large-Scale Effects—The Case Study of Nora (Sardinia, Italy)

17 November 2022

The article delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and the preservation of cultural heritage, focusing on the archaeological site of Nora in Sardinia. The study underscores the vulnerability of Nora’s building materials to weathering processes exacerbated by climate change, such as increased greenhouse gas concentrations and rising sea levels. To better comprehend the impact of these environmental changes, accelerated decay tests are being conducted to assess the deterioration of lithoid materials at the site. Moreover, the research sheds light on the significance of protective measures, such as nanolime

Unveiling the Use of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels (Bronze Age Northwest Iberian Peninsula)

10 November 2022

The article delves into the analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim (WHR) vessels from the Bronze Age in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula, focusing on the organic residue found on these pottery artefacts. The study aims to uncover the composition and significance of the dark residues observed on the vessel’s inner wall, indicating past exposure to fire. By utilising Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) on powdered samples, the researchers identified a complex mixture of degraded ruminant fats and vegetable oil residues, suggesting the vessel’s use in containing a mixture that was subjected to

Italian Influence in a Portuguese Mannerist Painting (Part I): A New Palette with Original Orange and Green Pigments

7 November 2022

The article explores the unique palette used in a Portuguese painting from the 17th century. The painting, “The Descent from the Cross” by Pedro Nunes, showcases a rich array of pigments, including green earth and orange arsenic sulphide, which are distinctive to Portuguese art of that era. The study involved in-depth analysis of the paint layers to identify the specific pigments used by Nunes. Various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDX) and micro-Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterise the pigments. The analysis revealed the
