Abstract
During archaeological research in Litovel, a birch bark from the 16th–18th century with floral motive. The aim of the work was to find out what colors or pigments were used to create a plant motif on the bark. Three important elements – iron, lead and copper – were captured by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Based on the results from Raman microscopy, we were able to identify the green pigment as malachite and the red pigment as hematite, ie part of the red clay. The higher iron content in the dark lines probably comes from iron-tube ink.
