✦ Synopsis

A Raman microprobe was employed to try to Ðnd and identify mineralogical geothermometric markers in an untreated raw sample of part of the wall of an ancient vitriÐed fort. The results are compared with those for Libyan Desert Glass which reveals a remarkably similar very high-temperature petrological association : glass + acristobalite.

Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy was evaluated as a non-destructive analytical tool for assessing the degradative state of archaeological and forensic hair samples. This work follows the successful application of FT-Raman spectroscopy to studies of both modern hair and ancient keratotic bio
