ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION (XRF) ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A PAINTING (2019)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

Mr. Warren Crump provided PaleoResearch Institute access to a painting supposedly depicting Pope Julius II (AD 1443–1513) to determine when the artwork was produced. In addition, PaleoResearch performed an XRF scan of the artwork to identify elements of the pigments used in painting. During the course of radiocarbon age determination, PaleoResearch removed paint and other chemicals present on the linen prior to dating.
