Characterisation of metallic mordants in Subarctic Athapaskan quillwork: a PIXE-RBS study on replicate samples

Native American quillwork collections remain little studied due to the limited availability of quillwork material for sampling. In this paper we explore the use of non-invasive Particle Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) to characterise metallic residues i...

Les collections nord-amérindiennes décorées avec la technique de la teinture des piquants de porc-épic restent très peu étudiées, en raison de la difficulté de prélever ce type de collections. Dans cet article, nous explorons l’utilisation de l’analyse par faisceau d’ions (PIXE-RBS) pour la caractérisation de résidus métalliques sur des piquants de porc-épic de référence préparés en laboratoire avec différents mordants. L’analyse PIXE nous a permis de caractériser les concentrations de mordants métalliques présents à la surface des piquants de porc-épic, tandis que l’analyse par rétrodiffusion de Rutherford (RBS) nous a permis d’obtenir des informations complémentaires sur la répartition de ces mordants dans les couches superficielles de la kératine.
