L’histoire du Musée d’Aquitaine

L’origine du Musée d’Aquitaine remonte au xvie siècle. En 1590 fut exposé à l’Hôtel de Ville un autel de marbre romain qui avait été repéré dès 1534 dans l’édifice antique des Piliers de Tutelle (désormais disparu). Cet autel est considéré aujourd’hui comme la pierre de fondation du musée autant que de la cité antique, puisqu’il est consacré à Auguste et au génie de la cité des Bituriges Vivisques, premier peuple connu de Bordeaux. On y ajouta bientôt (en 1594) des vestiges que, pour la premi..

Advantage of terahertz radiation versus X-ray to detect hidden organic materials in sealed vessels

International audienceTerahertz imaging and conventional X-ray have been used to investigate a sealed Ancient Egyptian jar preserved at the Museum of Aquitaine (France). Terahertz radiation revealed an unknown content that could not have been visualized by X-ray. By comparison with a model object, we concluded that this content was composed of organic materials explaining their relative radiolucency

Terahertz, X-ray and neutron computed tomography of an Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian sealed pottery

An Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian sealed pottery stored at the Museum of Aquitaine (Bordeaux, France) has been investigated using terahertz radiation, X-rays and neutrons. THz computed tomography revealed non-destructively the presence of content, whereas X-rays and neutrons analyzed more precisely the fabrication process and conservation of the pottery together with the nature of this content owing to higher spatial resolution and contrast

Terahertz tomographic imaging of XVIIIth Dynasty Egyptian sealed pottery

A monochromatic millimeter-wave imaging system coupled with an infrared temperature sensor has been used to investigate historic objects preserved at the Museum of Aquitaine (France). In particular, two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses have been performed in order to reveal the internal structure of nearly 3500-year-old sealed Egyptian jars. © 2011 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 110.6795, 110.6955, 100.6890, 120.5800. 1
