The Egyptian grave-goods of Kha and his metals: technology production and corrosion products identification.

Abstract: The proposal aims to a neutron integrated study to provide the composition (in terms of phases and corrosion products as well as working methods and state of conservation) of a set of 5 metallic vassels coming from the Egyptian tomb of Kha and Merit. The study will be performed at ENGIN-X diffractometer through Neutron Diffraction. The proposed experiment is part of a large-range characterization campaign on objects coming from the same Egyptian tomb discovered on February 15, 1906, in a valley next to the village of Deir el-Medina.
