Nowadays growing interest is devoted to exploration and protection of artefacts belonging to our treasure of Cultural Heritage. The application of analytical tools of natural sciences has become an important field of archaeology by now. The investigations usually concern dating, provenance, manufacturing techniques, workshop affinities, as well as fake identification or preservation of...

Neutron scattering is a vital research and analysis technique for exploring the structure and dynamics of materials and molecules. It provides unique and complementary information to that available from other diagnostic techniques. The main advantage of neutron-based analytical methods is that compositional and structural information can be obtained on the intact object without cutting out a...

In historical times, armours and weapons were generally made from the best available materials and using the best known technologies. Japanese armours have always been considered a wonderful example of the union of elegance and functionality, becoming a symbol of command and an expression of social status.
From the 15th century, with the advent of large armies of foot soldiers and the...

In this work we present the characterization of the peculiar compositional and micro-structural properties of the different kinds of steel used to forge ancient Japanese swords according to the five historical different forging traditions (Gokaden) and to the period [1-2]. In order to achieve such a goal, a large number of samples needs to be studied and, due to the unique nature of the...
