Activities

Archaeometric analysis

Physical-chemical analysis

Covering. Analysis of composition.

University Research Center for Iberian Archaeology

Raman Microscopy

Mineral analysis

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 Difraction

Mineral analysis

Method of crystalline powder. The sample (2 g) is ground to powder in an Agatha mortar until an adequate particle size (0.25 mm) and weighed approximately 1 g.

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)

The analyses were carried out in the Scientific Instrument Service of the University of Granada using a diffractometer BRUKER D8 ADVANCE equipped with a copper tube, geometry θθ and with a LYNXEYE Detector. Diffraction data were collected in the range of 2θ Bragg angles from 5º to 80º in 0.02º steps, step time 0.2 s. Peaks were identified with the Software Package Xpowder Plus and with manuals of reference.
