Funerary urn 76044. Burial mound 76. Cemetery of Tútugi.

Fragment of a stone funerary urn with geometric and vegetal decoration of the burial mound 76 of the Iberian cemetery of Tútugi (Galera, Granada, Spain). The white layer is manufactured with gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), the red color is made with hematite (Fe2O3) (MRS also shows traces of gypsum(CaSO4·2H2O) and dolomite Ca‎Mg‎(CO3)2), and the black color is obtained with black carbon. The concentration of hematite is very high: 41,5% of Fe wt in the red color according to EDXRF analysis.

Spectroscopic analysis

Mineral analysis of the red and black decoration and the white layer

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

Micro-Raman Spectroscopy (MRS)

Renishaw ‘in via’ Reflex Spectrometer coupled with a confocal Leica DM LM microscope (CICT, University of Jaén), equipped with a diode laser (785 nm, 300 mW), and a Peltier-cooled CCD detector, calibrated to the 520.5 cm-1 line of silicon.

X-Ray Fluorescence

Elemental analysis of the white layer and the red decoration

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

Energy dispersive X- ray fluorescence (EDXRF)

EDAX (model Eagle III) fluorescence spectrometer (CITI, University of Seville). This spectrometer is equipped with a microfocus X-ray tube with an Rh anode, a polycapillary lens for X-ray focussing, and an 80 mm2 energy dispersive Si-(Li) detector. The sample chamber incorporates an XYZ motorized stage for sample positioning. A high resolution microscope is used to position the sample on the desired distance from the polycapillary. To increase the sensitivity of the low Z elements, the sample chamber can be brought under vacuum. For the analysis of the samples, a spot size of 300 µm was chosen at an operating X-ray tube voltage of 40 kV. The tube current was adapted for each sample in order to optimise the detection of X-rays.
