Integrated three-dimensional models for noninvasive monitoring and valorization of the Morgantina silver treasure (Sicily)
The Morgantina silver treasure belonging to the Archaeological Museum of Aidone (Sicily) was
involved in a three-dimensional (3-D) survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring the collection over
time in anticipation of their temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for a period
of 4 years. Using a multidisciplinary approach, a scientific and methodological protocol based on noninvasive
techniques to achieve a complete and integrated knowledge of the precious items and their conservation state,
as well as to increase their valorization, has been developed. All acquired data, i.e., 3-D models, ultraviolet
fluorescence, x-ray images, and chemical information, will be made available, in an integrated way, within a
web-oriented platform, which will present an in-progress tool to deepen existing archaeological knowledge
and production technologies and to obtain referenced information of the conservation state before and after
moving of the collection from its exposure site
Archaeometric characterization and 3D survey: new perspectives for monitoring and valorisation of Morgantina silver Treasure (Sicily)
The Morgantina silver Treasure
belonging to the collections of the Archaeological
Museum of Aidone (Sicily) were involved in a 3D
survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring
over time of the finds, in anticipation of their
temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in New York, for a period of four years.
According to a multidisciplinary approach, it has
been developed a scientific and methodological
protocol based on non-invasive techniques to
achieve a complete and integrated knowledge of the
precious items, of their conservation state and
increasing their valorisation. All acquired data, i.e.
3D models, UV fluorescence and X-Ray images and
chemical information, will be made available, in a
integrated way, within a web oriented platform,
that will represent a in progress tool to deepen the
existing archaeological knowledge and technologies
of production and to obtain referenced information
of the state of preservation, before and after moving
of the finds from their exposure site
