Abstract
Raman microscopy has several advantages over other methods of analysis used to identify pigments from fine art objects. Examples are given of the use of this technique for the analysis of pigments taken from waterβcolours, a lithograph and oil paintings.

Shards from the archaeological site of Xishan (Henan, China) were analyzed by Raman microscopy to determine the pigments used in the decoration of this ancient (ca 4300-2800 BC) pottery. It was found for the first time that anatase was used for white coating 5000 years ago and this represents a cont
