Abstract

An archaeometallurgical research project has been underway for several years in the laboratories of the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the University of Genoa (Italy). Its principal objective is to identify the relationship between ancient metallic artefacts and how they are made. Other objectives are the alteration and conservation problems of the artefacts. This work analyses two small copper-based statues, found near Udine (Italy), focusing on their originality and their craftsmanship. Chemical physical analyses where carried out using neither destructive nor microdestructive techniques. The two small copper-based statues were found near Udine and are currently in the Cividale Museum (Friuli, Italy).
