摘要
古代颜料的科学分析一直是考古学研究和艺术史研究的重要内容,分析和确定颜料的矿物成分,对于中国古代科技史研究具有很重要的意义。本工作利用扫描电子显微镜和激光拉曼显微镜对玉门火烧沟遗址出土的红黄色颜料进行了分析,确定了红黄色混合颜料是雄黄、拟雄黄、三氧化二砷、硫磺与石膏的混合物。
Six lumps of mineral pigments were unearthed in 1976 from the site of Huo Shao- gou, Yumen county, Gansu province. The site could be dated back to 3590 ± 100- 3340 ± 100 by the 14C method. In this study, the SEM - EDX and Raman Microscopy were employed to determine the elements and colorants of one special red - yellow pigment. It was found that the pigment is a mixture of realgar, pararealgar, arsenic, sulphur and gypsum. The arsenic element detected here revealed some possible arsenic source in the arsenic bronze manufacturing procedure in the early period of the China Bronze Age.
