Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how Egyptian blue, an ancient artificial pigment, was produced by examining a failed pellet from the Hellenistic site in Kos, Greece, using advanced laboratory techniques.
- - Various scientific methods, including scanning electron microscopy and synchrotron radiation techniques, revealed that inconsistencies in the pigment's production were linked to the use of unsuitable starting materials with high iron content, rather than just firing temperatures.
- - The findings highlight the complex relationship between the making of Egyptian blue and metallurgy, emphasizing how these fields influenced each other in ancient production processes.
