Esculturas de Soares dos Reis: análise de características metálicas e corrosão ...

As esculturas de António Soares dos Reis (1847-1889) representam um acervo inestimável no contexto do património escultórico português do século XIX. No entanto, as suas obras em metal nunca tinham sido estudadas desde o ponto de vista analítico. A degradação de obras esculturais metálicas, causada por fatores intrínsecos e ambientais (impulsionados pelas alterações climáticas), torna necessário o estudo do met...

The Use of Gold at the Rock-cut Tomb Necropolis of Casal do Pardo (Quinta do An...

Thanks to extensive research on the site and its architecture, and remains, Casal do Pardo is a type site for European prehistory, a true archetype of European Bell Beaker culture. Although there are many topics related to Casal do Pardo, this paper focuses exclusively on gold metallurgy and the recent findings of a 2017 archaeological campaign.The group of rock-cut caves at Casal do Pardo is located in the par...

A ocupação Pré‑histórica do Cabeço de Caria Talaia (Sabugal, Portugal)

This paper presents evidence for the prehistoric occupation of Cabeço de Caria Talaia, Sabugal (Portugal). Despite the poor preservation of the structures and its artefacts, the archaeological intervention conducted in 2008 and 2009 allowed to define its inhabitance at an advanced phase between the Middle Bronze Age and the beginning of the Late Bronze Age. Furthermore, a significant set of ceramics allowed to ...

The metallic artifacts of the prehistoric fortified settlement of Leceia (Oeira...

This paper presents the results of a study carried on a collection of 144 metal artefacts from the Early (ca. 2800-2600/2500 a.C.) and the Middle/Final Chalcolithic (ca. 2600/2500-2000 a.C.), found at the site of Leceia (Oeiras, Central Portugal) during the excavations conducted between 1983 and 2000. A systematised analysis of the collection was provided in order to enumerate the different typologies found in ...

Analytical characterization of copper-based metal sculptures in Portugal in 188...

António Soares dos Reis (1847-1889) is considered one of the most important Portuguese sculptors of the 19th century. His work marked the end of Portuguese Romanticism and the beginning of Naturalism. Due to his premature death, his artistic production can be considered modest but of the highest technical quality. Since the sculptor did not leave documents that can help to the understanding of his artistic crea...

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy/Monte Carlo simulation approa...

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is a well-known technique for non-destructive and in situ analysis of archaeological artifacts both in terms of the qualitative and quantitative elemental composition because of its rapidity and non-destructiveness. In this study EDXRF and realistic Monte Carlo simulation using the X-ray Monte Carlo (XRMC) code package have been combined to characterize a Cu-based bo...
