Raman spectroscopy in archaeology and art history; Vol. 2 - United Kingdom -- RSC -- 2018 - xviii, 349p.

Volume 1. Ramen spectroscopy allows the non-destructive examination of objects of archaeological and historical importance to characterise their chemical composition and structure and help determine their provenance. The authors give an explanation of Raman spectroscopy and an introduction to the techniques used. Seventeen case studies are given to show work on : dyes and pigments ; artefacts ; biological materials and degradation ; and jewellery and precious stones. It also describes a database of 74 Raman spectra of standard minerals of relevance to metal corrosion, stained glass, and prehistoric rock art.
