Abstract
Pigments painted on Egyptian excavations in the 18th Dynasty were analyzed successfully by external PIXE with the aid of the X-ray diffraction. A white pigment was composed of Mg 3Ca(CO 3) 4; red: αFe 2O 3, αFeO·OH and AsS; pink: mixtures of white and red pigments; yellow: αFeO·OH and As 2S 3; and blue: CaO·CuO·4SiO 2.
