Ghent University started a restoration campaign dedicated to the cork masterpiece, which has great artistic value. Next to macroscopic analysis, an extensive physicochemical campaign was organised in order to study and document the composition and the preservation state of the polychromic layers of Chichi’s masterpiece. Portable and micro-Raman spectroscopy revealed the presence of materials such as carbon-based pigments, lead white, vermilion, chalk, gypsum, bassanite, Prussian blue and haematite on the exterior and interior of the cork model. A tin-containing layer was characterized on the exterior of the model. XRF instruments were employed to better understand the overall elemental composition of the model’s polychromic layers, positively identifying Pb, Sn, Zn, Ca, Hg, Fe at the exterior surface. Stratigraphic analysis was performed, with both analytical techniques, when possible. The detailed information provided by archaeology, art history and applied sciences on the cork model of the Pantheon, will help the conservators to better understand and restore the Pantheon model which will be exhibited in the new museum of Ghent University.

Vanden Berghe (Ghent University, Belgium) during the 1950s. Handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was undertaken on a selection of these ceramics to evaluate the applicability of the technique to study the fabric of these ceramics and the pigments used for decoration. The aim is to obtain elemental data, from which information about raw materials, manufacturing techniques and exchange systems can be extracted. A total of 26 sherds was analyzed dating from the Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age and belonging to different sites and styles. Five compositional groups could be identified in the dataset. These elemental groups differ from the groups obtained by the macroscopic study and are related to the production process and/or the provenance of the primary materials.
