Results of diagnostic campaign promoted by AIAr in the deposits of the Archaeological Museum of Paestum

A multi-analytic diagnostic campaign on 30 artifacts from the Archaeological Park of Paestum revealed significant insights into both ancient Greek technology and contemporary forgery techniques. Conducted during the 2016 exhibition 'Possessione: Trafugamenti e falsi di antichità a Paestum,' the study utilized advanced scientific techniques to identify counterfeit items, providing a deeper understanding of their composition and craftsmanship. The findings bridge ancient and modern methodologies, offering valuable data for archaeological conservation and authentication practices.
