Abstract (english)
Since Antiquity, gypsum and anhydrite alabaster have been carved, as an alternative to white marble. Before 2010, the few mineralogical and chemical provenance studies produced unconvincing results. A large study has been undertaken, concerning several European quarries and involving about 30 samples of both quarries and artworks. These were analysed using mineralogical (XRD), chemical (ICP-AES) and isotopic (CF-IRMS and TIMS) methods. Multi-isotope fingerprinting (S, O and Sr) proved to be the most suitable methodology. The results have established highly specific isotope signatures for English, French and Spanish alabaster especially for Sr and S, with strong intra-group homogeneity and inter-group contrasts. A further investigation of 12th to 16th century sculptures from several French museums and monuments validates this methodology for identifying the provenance of the raw material. It is planned to enlarge the database with isotope analyses from historical alabaster quarries across Western Europe.
