- Abstract
A miniaturized Mössbauer spectrometer (MIMOS II) which was designed and constructed for extraterrestrial applications, such as iron-containing rock and soil analysis on the planet Mars, has been employed to investigate the iron-containing constituents in the paintings of a Lekythos Greek vase. Greek pottery is commonly painted with black figures. The Mössbauer backscattering spectra recorded with MIMOS II at room temperature show that the hand-painted black figures contain hematite.
