Raman investigation of artificial patinas on recent bronze protected by different azole type inhibitors in an outdoor environment

Kosec, Tadeja; Legat, Andraž; Ropret, Polonca (2014)

Bronze surfaces, as well as prepatinated surfaces on bronze, undergo chemical and visual changes when exposed to humid and polluted environments. For this reason, it is important to study the effectiveness of corrosion ...
Stable isotope indicators of provenance and demographics in 18th and 19th century North Americans

France, Christine A. M.; Owsley, Douglas W.; Hayek, Lee-Ann C. (Elsevier, 2014)

Abstract Using stable isotopes to gain insight into individual life histories is a valuable tool for unidentified or incomplete remains lacking historic records. This study analyzed stable carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen ...

Species identification by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) in fibre products preserved by association with copper-alloy artefacts

Solazzo, Caroline; Rogers, Penelope Walton; Weber, Leslie; Beaubien, Harriet F.; Wilson, Julie; Collins, Matthew (2014)

Fibre products, such as textiles and animal pelts, are often recovered in the corrosion crust of archaeological metal artefacts. Because clothed burials are an important resource for the study of past societies, accurate ...
