Abstract

Gathering as much information as possible about the original polychromy of an archaeological find is extremely important as it offers a new key that takes us closer to the sculpture's original appearance. A correct reading of the original polychromy is often complicated by the low number and small size of the colour traces
Both non-invasive and micro-invasive techniques were applied to characterize remnants materials and pigments on polychrome objects. In particular, multiband imaging techniques (VIS, UVL, VIL) have become part of the set of analytical methodologies adopted. The routinely examination also includes the use of other non-invasive analytical techniques in order to implement the data and integrate the results obtained. Among non-invasive portable techniques available TR FT-IR, FORS and XRF are widely applied.
