Tessera 74. Erotes mosaic, Marroquíes Altos (Jaén, Spain)

Grey tessera belonging to the mosaic of the Erotes of Marroquíes Altos (Jaén, Spain). XRF analysis shows a high concentration of Ca, and a lower presence of Si and Al. All of this allows the identification of limestone as the raw material used in the manufacture of the tessera.

X-Ray Fluorescence

Elemental analysis

Non destructive. Surface cleaning. Sample pretreatment is not required. Direct measurement.

Portable Olympus Innov-X Delta Premium X-ray fluorescence spectrometer equipped with a rhodium (Rh) anode X-ray tube and a 20 mm2 SDD detector. An aluminum (Al) filter was applied to measure high-Z elements (from Fe onward) using a voltage of 40 kV and a current of 38.7 µA. Without filtering (low-Z elements), a voltage of 10 kV and a current of 50.8 µA can be applied. Measurements were performed in air for 150 s. The X-ray excitation beam was collimated through a window with dimensions of 3×3 mm2
