Projectomschrijving
In this research project, the painting technique of a number of antique Egyptian private tombs (Theban necropolis, Luxor, Egypt) are examined, dating from the 18th Dynasty. Visual analysis is combined with macro photography, raking light images and UV fluorescence photography. Moreover, a number of archaeometrical techniques are as well used to identify the materials that were applied (colorimetry, Ir spectroscopy, UV-fluorescence, X-ray fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy).
