Abstract
The compositional patterns of limestone from quarries beneath the city of Paris, France, and of Romanesque sculpture from the Paris basin and Burgundy were characterized by neutron activation analysis and multivariate statistics. Stone from three locations in the Lutetian limestone formations of Paris is found to be consistent and significantly different from Burgundian limestone.Elemental analysis is combined with traditional art-historical approaches to solve problems of grouping sculptural fragments, assigning places of origin, and establishing authenticity.
