Abstrakt: Small masses of blue and red pigmentfound during the excavation of the temple of Uni in Marzabotto have been studied by employing XRF. FT-IR, and micro-Raman techniques. Thanks to these different spectroscopic techniques, the identification of red ochre and Egyptian blue pigments has been ascertained. The findings of Egyptian blue masses and the attestations of its use in the Etruscan area allow us to hypothesize its provenance, the trade carriers and the beginnings of circula tion. The VIL tech nique has been applied on some architectural terracottas in the National Etruscan Museum of Marzabotto to investigate the presence of Egyptian blue, never attested before in the Etruscan Po Valley. The analysis permits to better understand the decoration pattern, the fabrication techniques and the specialised production of some tiles painted with Egyptian blue. Moreover, the study ofpolyckromy on terracottas gives the possibility to make a realistic recon-structiono ft hed ecorativee lementsi nt hec ity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
