Abstracts

The article presents new results of the analysis of the material composition of a unique stone urn from the Germanic urn grave 222 from the site of the Late Roman period in Očkov. The sample from the urn was first examined by Raman spectroscopy and then by mass spectroscopy (MS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscope coupled by wavelength – dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM/WDS). Contrary to the previously published assumption that the urn was made of alabaster, the results of these analyses showed clearly that it was made of high-quality marble. Based on the comparison of the characteristics of the composition and elements represented in marble from known ancient quarries, it is very probable that it was made of Carrara marble and could have originally come directly from Italy.
