XRF analysis on metal castings from Lübeck, Germany

Bosch, Sebastian

XRF analysis was performed in August 2022 on 7 metal artefacts at different places in Lübeck, Germany:

  1. Epitaph of Bartholomäus Heisegger (St. Anne's Museum)
  2. Plaque of Ludeke Lammeshoved (St. Anne's Museum)
  3. Font (St. Aegidien Kirche)
  4. Font (Cathedral)
  5. Gravestone Serkem (Cathedral)
  6. Gravestone Huttenrock (St. Mary's Church)
  7. Sacrament House (St. Mary's Church)

The results were presented at the conference "LÜBECK ALS ZENTRUM DES SPÄTMITTELALTERLICHEN METALLGUSSES"

The documentation of the measured spots is summarized in 01_Measuring spots.pdf.

All data uploaded here was recorded with the mobile XRF spectrometer ELIO (XGLab S.R.L., Italy, software version 1.5.7.7). Raw spectra are saved within project (.xga) files (see folder 02_xga.zip) and exported as spectrum (.spx) and text (.txt) files (see folder 03_spx.zip and folder 04_txt.zip). The.spx files were evaluated with Esprit Reveal software (Bruker Nano GmbH, Germany, version 2.2.1.4280) and results were exported as .xlsx files (see folder 05_xlsx.zip).

All raw and evaluated spectra, as well as the results were copied in a summary file (see file 06_Summary of XRF results.pdf).

The research for this project was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany´s Excellence Strategy – EXC 2176 'Understanding Written Artefacts: Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures', project no. 390893796. The research was conducted within the scope of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) at Universität Hamburg.
