Advances in research in Cultural Heritage see increasing application of a multidisciplinary
approach and the combined use of physical and chemical characterization of artefacts that …

Complementary vibrational spectroscopic techniques–infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron
scattering (INS)–were applied to the study of human bone burned under controlled …

In bone cutting, the tissue is exposed to necrosis due to temperature elevation, which can
significantly influence postoperative results in orthopaedic surgeries. This damage is usually …

Pyrotechnology is a key element of hominin evolution. The identification of fire in early
hominin sites relies primarily on an initial visual assessment of artifacts' physical alterations …

Complementary optical and neutron-based vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Infrared,
Raman and inelastic neutron scattering) were applied to the study of human bones (femur …

Unheated and heat-treated bovine bone material with differing heating times and heat-
treated in increments from 100° C to 1000° C were analysed to study the crystallographic …

This study aims to analyse human bones exposed to low/medium temperatures (200–650°
C) under experimentally controlled conditions, both oxidizing and reducing, using …

When bone is exposed to thermal stress, the chemical composition changes. This affects
bone tissue regeneration after surgery, and these changes can also aid in reconstructing …

Infrared (IR) vibrational spectroscopy is the most reliable technique to determine the
molecular composition and structure of chemical compounds. In the past two decades, with …

Burned skeletal remains are abundant in archaeological and paleontological sites, the result
of fire or of ancient funerary practices. In the burning process, the bone matrix suffers …
