 INTRODUCTION

After addressing general issues relating to the specific characteristics of cultural heritage materials, analytical methodologies for characterizing them, examination methods and techniques for analyzing inorganic materials in , we now turn to the case of organic materials.

Secondly, we present some concrete examples of the study of archaeological objects or materials from museum pieces, to show how the various examination methods and analysis techniques described above can be used in conjunction to address specific problems. Encaustic portraits, natural substances used to manufacture adhesives in prehistoric times, imitation precious stones (bone turquoise), Etruscan and medieval sculpture and jewelry are all discussed, with the aim of highlighting the interdisciplinary approach that is systematically applied to the study of such complex, composite and ancient objects.
