| Izvleček: | The most recent restoration of the re-erected part of temple C of ancient Selinus (modern Selinunte, Sicily) made it possible to carry out direct observations and a sampling campaign on the very few extant ancient stuccoes and polychromy traces on the columns and capitals of the northern peristasis. The samples were submitted to laboratory analyses including XRD on powder, OM, as well as SEM-EDS, on polished and thin sections, providing a stratigraphic reconstruction of the various stuccoes applied over the biocalcarenite of the temple. The composition of the stuccoes, together with that of the remaining polychromy, has been determined archaeometrically, thus allowing new hypotheses about the decorative materials and techniques used during the main lifetime (6th-5th centuries B.C.) of the temple. |
