Portable XRF technology for archaeology, identification and preservation of artworks

summary

The new handheld XRF technology can quickly and accurately measure on-site objects of artistic, archaeological, and historical significance. The information collected from these studies can be used for the restoration and preservation of objects, as well as information about their composition, origin, technology, authenticity, and date.

Despite significant differences in the materials studied - metals, bronze and other alloys, coins, jewelry, ceramics, glass, statues, religious objects, pigments in painting, and other artifacts - the high precision and low detection limit achievable by portable XRF analyzers make them ideal choices for these particular challenges.

Protection involves utilizing structural and compositional information obtained from modern analytical techniques to restore and preserve museum objects and historical sites. Archaeology uses these techniques to study the composition, origin, technique, authenticity, and date of materials.

Archaeological Metallurgy

Archaeology involves the analysis of metal objects with cultural value. The scope of investigation ranges from the size of jewelry to the size of sea vessels, such as the H.L. Hunley, the first ever attack submarine.

Bronze Age: Analysis of Copper Based Alloys

XRF analysis not only provides clues about metals from the relatively late Iron Age (such as those from Hunley), but also answers questions about metals from the Copper Age (earlier times).

Some bronze objects are just copper based alloys with two components. Usually, there are several components. These identities and/or concentrations help determine the composition, origin, technology, and authenticity of the object.

The commonly produced copper based alloys discovered during the Bronze Age (including bronze and lead bronze) consist of 1-15% tin/lead and up to 28% zinc and copper. The trace levels of other elements (such as Sb) can indicate impurities in the ore and provide information about the source of the object.

Painting and artwork: XRF analysis for identity verification and preservation

Everything is not always what it looks or what others say. If there are doubts about the authenticity of paintings or other artworks, an investigation is necessary. XRF can provide the information needed to determine its authenticity by analyzing its pigments, or for ceramics and sculptures, by analyzing the underlying materials.

Essentially, different pigments have been used by different artists at different times in history, in different locations. In other words, the materials used to manufacture pigments can vary greatly depending on the artist, region, and date.

XRF analysis of pigments can answer questions about when, where, and by whom pigments are manufactured. If this information is inconsistent with known information about the artist's pigment materials, counterfeit products can be discovered. The same applies to the basic materials of ceramics and sculptures. The information obtained from authentication research can also be used to help repair and restore objects by allowing custodians to produce materials similar to the original artwork.

The Yijingtong Wenbo Archaeological Spectral Analyzer, used for research and discovery, can analyze various elements from magnesium to uranium, and can measure element contents ranging from PPM to 100%. In situations where time is precious and materials cannot be transported, damaged, or deteriorated, more than 25 elements can be analyzed on site and analysis results can be obtained immediately. Calibration models, multispectral displays, and optional PCs and accessories for high-level research and discovery projects.

The pursuit, understanding, and bold exploration of knowledge on a global scale are the core of human discovery and exploration. Whether these research projects belong to the fields of archaeology, cultural heritage, forensic anthropology, earth science, public health, or simply pursue certain ideas, dreams, or answers, they will receive encouragement and support from EVIDENT. EVIDENT's handheld XRF is not only a wonderful research tool, but also an impressive educational tool. Imagine this scenario where your student holds an XRF analyzer and discovers that the periodic table of elements becomes vivid in their hands. They can quickly get answers to the questions they ask and understand the advantages and disadvantages of various sampling techniques; Having understood the subtle differences in various analytical variables, they raised their eyebrows and looked at you with admiration: this teacher is truly knowledgeable and talented. All possibilities are imagined.

The Yijingtong Cultural and Archaeological Spectral Analyzer is widely used in the commercial field. By quickly obtaining accurate answers, users can immediately receive investment returns, maintain good quality levels of incoming and outgoing materials, and help meet the requirements of various regulations for human health and well-being. The Yijingtong Cultural and Archaeological Spectral Analyzer also helps broaden human cognitive horizons and satisfy human curiosity. Sometimes, the knowledge discovered by analyzers can even be transformed into practical and feasible commercial applications. The true limitation of the Yijingtong Cultural and Archaeological Spectral Analyzer in the field of research and discovery lies in people's lack of imagination. The mission of handheld XRF is to explore the world and unknown territories.
