The paper shows the analytictal results obtained from the archaeometric study carried out on a Roman sarcophagus, known today as the tomb of King Ramiro II of Aragon, called “the Monk”. Non-destructive spectrophotometric colour testing, petrography, cathodoluminiscence (CL microfacies and quantitative CL) and C-O isotopic techniques were applied in order to investigate its marble provenance.

They were carved in white fine to very fine grained marble, but also medium and coarse types were investigated. Provenance determination was carried out using a sequential approach, taking into account petrography and cathodomicrofacies […]
