Abstract (english)
Fifty classical marble objects in the collections of the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University have been analyzed, making use of several complementary techniques to determine the quarry sources for the marble. This collaborative project has been supported most generously over many years by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Thalia and Michael Carlos Foundation. Using a multi-method approach, including visual assessment, maximum grain size, testing for dolomite, stable isotope analysis, elemental analysis, and electron paramagnetic resonance, it was possible to assign most objects with a high degree of probability to a single source. Five objects, presented in chronological order, have been selected here for special attention either for art-historical reasons or for the use of marble from unexpected sources. These include an under life-size Hellenistic statue of a draped female (Aphrodite?) (Fig. 1), whose head is carved from marble assigned to the Paros 1 quarries, while the body is Pentelic. An archaistic relief of a woman carrying a jug (Fig. 2) is carved from Denizli marble, perhaps the first such identification for archaistic sculpture. A Roman statue representing Leda and the Swan (Fig. 3) is carved from Aphrodisias marble. A fine Roman statuette representing Apollo of the Anzio type (Fig. 4) is carved from Parian marble. An unusual Roman third-century relief of a ploughman (Fig. 5) uses marble from Göktepe.
