  1. Selected Applications of MIMOS II in Archaeology Paulo de Souza1,2, G. Klingelhöfer2, B. Bernhard2,3, P. Gütlich2 Tasmanian ICT Centre, CSIRO, Hobart, Australia Inst. Anorg.

  2. Outlook • Motivation • Space Payload Constraints • Chinese Wall Painting • Pigments on a Greek Vase • Were Celtic weapons burnt in sacrifices? • Miniature from the XV Century • Supporting Restoration of a Roman Mask • Archaeological artefacts are unique pieces • Non-destructive analysis is necessary • MIMOS II: • Works on backscatering geometry • Does not require sample preparation • Is Portable “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  3. Constraints of MIMOS II • Weight (~ 400 g) • Vibrations • Power (~ 3 W) • Size (5x5x9) cm3 • Backscattering • Calibrations “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  4. Chinese wall painting (Eastern-Han Dynasty) “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  5. Pigments on a Greek Vase “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  6. Magnetite Magnetite and Maghemite Helmet Knob: burnt in sacrifices? “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  7. Miniature from XV Century 4 ½ days, 80 mCi source. Artefact kindly provided by Gutenberg Museum in Mainz “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  8. Restoration of a Roman Mask wüstite Restoration of a Roman Mask “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”

  9. Conclusions • MIMOS II is a suitable tool for archaeological applications. • MIMOS II could provide non-destructive analysis of a variety of archaeological artefacts. • Data from MIMOS II supported hypothesis of burning weapons after battles (magnetite to maghemite) • Data from MIMOS II supported the restoration of a roman mask. “Gütlich, Bill, Trautwein: Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Transition Metal Chemistry@Springer-Verlag 2009”
