ORIGIN OF FRENCH 14~(TH) TO 16~(TH) CENTURY ALABASTER ARTWORK FROM ILE-DE-FRANCE ASSESSED THROUGH MULTI-ISOTOPE ARCHAEOMETRY (S, O, SR)

摘要

The trade roads of Medieval and Renaissance gypsum and anhydrite alabaster (CaSO_4.2H_2O and CaSO_4) have so far been investigated mainly by art historians based on iconographic or stylistic comparisons. Unlikely to marble artwork, only few studies have so far addressed the mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic fingerprints of raw alabaster compared to those of alabaster sculptures [1-3].
