Scientific investigation by physico-chemical methods of archaeologic artefacts from pre- and proto-hystory in Carpatho-Dniester area

The projects aims at development of new research in scientific investigation of the artifacts from prehistory and proto history of Carpatho-Dniester area (metal, ceramics) in order to establish the period and area of origin of materials and samples analyzed, thus beeing able to assess the economical and social changes over time. Priority objectives aims to use modern methods of scientific investigation, non-invasive, through an experimental protocol based on complementary relationships involving conjunction and co-assistance interdisciplinary systems between diverse analyzing systems in order to establish both the elemental composition and archaeometric characteristics, and also the conservation state, the elucidation of deterioration and degradation and also the elucidation of the detrerioration and degradation state of studied artifacts.

Within this projects will be involved phisico and chemical analyzing methods, nondestructive and paradestructive, in order to establish the nature of materials and the operations and implementing work processess for artefacts from prehistory and proto-history of Carpatho-Dniester area. Analyses will be performed with advanced ecquipment from the Laboratory of Scientific Investigation and Conservation of the Cultural Patrimony Goods: scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX) – VEGA TESCAN, micro-FTIR - BRUKER, optical microscope - ZEISS, derivatograph - LINSEIS, portable spectrophotometer – LOVIBOND RT300. By SEM-EDX and micro-FTIR will be analysed the structural components of ceramics and metal artefacts, while by thermogravimetric analyses will be established the time and burning temperatures for ceramics. It will highlight the development of databases with results obtained by analyzing artefacts in the study groups. Conclusions and correlation of results will elucidatte some of the dilemmas encountered in archaeological research of the prehistory and proto-history of Carpatho-Dniester area. Thus, for the neo-eneolitical period, we remind just the discussions regarding the charater of the ceramics production and the possible existence of some new manufacturing prestigious for the painted ceramics. For metal artifacts, a detailed analysis can highlights a number of specific structural elements for the ore, patina of the four situations (use, drop, archaeological site and discovery) and the alloy type which should allow the chronological assessment, the manufacturing area and usage period.

To make the scientific investigation of the obiects from prehistory and protohistory of the Carpatho-Dniester area, is needed the collaboration of specialists from different scientific fields (historians, archaeologists, chemists, physicists, biologists etc.), able to correlate archaeological with geological data from the field and with results obtained by method of analysis specific to some disciplines.
