Provenance determination of archaeological marbles as an example for the use of geoscientific methods

The geoscientific analysis with the purpose of provenance determination of marbles used in the greek and roman antiquity helps to resolve archaeological questions. Here we show methods used for the characterization of marble findings from Asia minor, which are now exposed in the Pergamon Museum in B...

Here we show methods used for the characterization of marble findings from Asia minor, which are now exposed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. 232 samples of 39 ancient objects and 362 samples of 20 marble deposits gave a broad database. The frequent superposition of characteristics of the deposits requires a multivariate approach. In spite of all modern analytical techniques, the petrographic characteristics continue being indispensable. Dolomites measured by means of XRD showed a good correlation with Mg. Mg, Fe, Sr and Mn were determined by means of ICP-OES, and the REE, by means of ICP-MS. Stable isotopes (äCPDB and äOPDB) gave important indications. The multivariate statistic (factorial, to cluster, discriminatory analysis) confirmed the geologic relevance and the utility of the used characteristics. The gas chromatography of volatile phases, the cathodoluminiscence and EPR yielded additional results. Here we use the marbles of the Pergamon Altar, which were proved to come from Marmara Island and not from the local deposit of Akkaya, to show how all the ancient objects could be assigned to marble quarries.El análisis geocientífico para determinar la procedencia de mármoles usados en la antigüedad griega y romana ayuda a resolver problemas arqueológicos. Este trabajo muestra métodos usados en la caracterización de hallazgos de mármol de Asia menor, que hoy se encuentran en el Museo de Pérgamo, en Berlín. 232 muestras de 39 objetos antiguos y 362 muestras de 20 yacimientos de mármol dieron una base de datos amplia. La frecuente superposición de características de los yacimientos requiere un enfoque multivariado. Pese a todas las técnicas analíticas modernas, las características petrográficas siguen siendo indispensables. Dolomitas medidas por XRD mostraron una buena correlación con Mg. Mg, Fe, Sr y Mn se determinaron con ICP-OES, y los REE, por medio de ICP-MS. La isotopía estable (äCPDB y äOPDB) dio indicaciones importantes. La estadística multivariada (análisis factorial, clúster, discriminatorio) confirmó la relevancia geológica y la utilidad de las características usadas. La cromatografía de gases de fases volátiles, la catodoluminiscencia y los espectros de resonancia paramagnética electrónica dieron resultados adicionales. Aquí se muestra, con el ejemplo de los mármoles del Altar de Pérgamo, que provienen de Mármara y no de Akkaya, cómo se pudo determinar la procedencia de todos los 39 objetos antiguos investigados. application/pdfspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia - UPTChttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria_sogamoso/article/view/898/898Derechos de autor 2009 Ingeniería Investigación y Desarrollohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf94http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Ingeniería Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 8 No. 1: enero-junio de 2009; 64-69Ingeniería Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 8 Núm. 1: enero-junio de 2009; 64-692422-43241900-771Xmarblepergamon altarprovenance determinationstable isotopesgeochemistrycathodoluminescencegeoquímicacatodoluminescencia ármolaltar de Pérgamoprocedenciaisotopía estableProvenance determination of archaeological marbles as an example for the use of geoscientific methodsDeterminación de la procedencia de mármoles arqueológicos, como ejemplo para la aplicación de métodos geocientíficosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6593http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a177http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Cramer, Thomas001/12172oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/121722025-07-18 11:25:29.531metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
