Abstract: | AbstractSamples of pigments from a wall-painting of a house of the first Pompeian style (400 Bc–168 BC) found in Pella, Greece, were analyzed by the non-destructive methods of X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction. Red pigments were identified as cinnabar and iron oxide pigments (haematite and goethite). Blue was the well-known Egyptian blue and yellow was identified as goethite. A characteristic feature of the wall-painting was the presenceof green earth, i.e. celadonite and glauconite, encountered for the first time in this series of investigations. |
