Coral Lies: Unveiling Technological Exchange and Trade in the Early Iron Age

This volume presents a study of Iron Age leech fibulae with white inlays, as well as other artefacts made from alleged coral, from northern Italy. A typological, archaeometric and archaeo-technological approach was applied to the archaeological finds: of the 372 artefacts examined, 264 were selected...

description This volume presents a study of Iron Age leech fibulae with white inlays, as well as other artefacts made from alleged coral, from northern Italy. A typological, archaeometric and archaeo-technological approach was applied to the archaeological finds: of the 372 artefacts examined, 264 were selected for archaeometric analysis using a novel non- or µ-destructive protocol (Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies, µ-XRD, SEM-EDS). Through a combination of analysis, radiography and experimentation, the study identified the presence of C. rubrum and other materials in the decorations and some evidences of intentional control of the metal alloy composition, suggesting a reconstruction of the production sequences. The study sheds light on the technologies and cultural interactions of Iron Age Europe.

Published Questo volume presenta lo studio integrato tipologico, archeometrico e archeo-tecnologico di reperti in presunto corallo dall’età del Ferro in Italia settentrionale: fibule a sanguisuga con intarsi e altri manufatti. Dei 372 reperti esaminati, 264 sono stati selezionati per le analisi archeometriche, svolte con un protocollo non o µ-distruttivo, che unisce spettroscopie Raman e FT-IR, µ-XRD, SEM-EDS. Lo studio, combinando analisi, radiografie e sperimentazioni, ha identificato la presenza di C. rubrum e altri materiali nelle decorazioni, oltre ad indizi di controllo intenzionale della composizione della lega metallica, suggerendo una possibile ricostruzione delle sequenze di produzione dei manufatti e facendo luce sulle tecnologie e le interazioni culturali in Europa nell'età del Ferro.
