Abstract:
The scope of this report is to present the results of laboratory analysis of an archaic syrian-phoenician style statuette. It was uncovered in the sacred zone of Histria and dates about 6th century BC. The two pieces of the statuette were found in the same location, having also in common the same constitutive material, that is not a clay but nearly pure melilite. This suggests the casting material had a special provenance, providing some insight regarding the type of parent rock. We made a sorrow analysis of the materials and the inclusions and we report the results.
