Tessera 24. Tethys mosaic, Marroquíes Altos (Jaén, Spain)

Salmon-colored tessera belonging to the Tethys mosaic from the Marroquíes Altos Archaeological Site (Jaén, Spain). Raman analysis indicates the presence of calcite (CaCO3), and X-ray fluorescence shows a high Ca content; therefore, the raw material used in its manufacture was limestone.

Raman Microscopy

Mineralogical analysis

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

Portable Raman spectrometer (model BWS445-785S innoRam) equipped with a CCD detector, a handheld fiber-optic probe, an automated MicroBeam tripod, a benchtop stand for small samples, and a BAC151A camera (University Research Institute for Iberian Archaeology, University of Jaén). A 785 nm diode laser (300 mW) was used, with a spectral resolution better than 4.5 cm-1

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
