Objectives:
Develop a detailed open access database on historic pigments that includes not only their historical information, but also a complete analytical characterisation using techniques of interest in heritage studies due to their innocuousness and portability, such as Raman spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, Colorimetry, and hyperspectral cameras.
Expected results:
Multi-platform and open database of historical pigments of special relevance in the historical-archaeological heritage of Castilla y León.
