EXAMINATION OF PIGMENTS FROM WROXETER, SHROPSHIRE.
Author(s): M P Heyworth, Helen Hughes
Bowl shaped ceramic vessels found in the Roman bath house at Wroxeter were examined to identify the pigments which they contained. Several pigments were identified using polarising microscopy in combination with qualitative X-ray fluorescence. Common Romano-British pigments such as Egyptian Blue and haematite were identified, together with a lake pigment which may not have previously been identified in a Romano-British context.
