XXI. International Scientific Conference of Young Engineers
Nothing shows better how interdisciplinary this project is than the fact that some of our colleagues together with chemists and other specialists took part in the XXI. International Scientific Conference of Young Engineers, held in Cluj-Napoca, on the 17-18th of March, 2016.
The presentation’s topic consisted of the archaeometric analysis of iron slags discovered during the recent excavations at Brâncovenești, Călugăreni and Vătava. As part of the archaeometallurgical investigations, the samples were subjected to FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy and surface XRF (X-ray fluorescence) spectroscopic investigations in order to approximate their mineralogical composition (FTIR) and to determine their elemental composition and inhomogeneity (XRF).
