Abstract: Article on the characterization of several amphora fragments from Sicily in order to analyse their composition and relations in terms of mineral contents. Neutron diffraction allowed the authors to carry out a detailed quantitative identification of the mineral phases present in the samples. This information together with previously published data, allowed them to hypothesize different geographical attributions for the analysed samples. Time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction measurements were performed on both large fragments and powders obtaining mineral phase fractions in good agreement. This approach shows the advantage of the technique in cultural heritage studies requiring non-destructive investigations of intact objects.
