This work is focused on determining provenance of travertine stones employed in the construction of some important monuments in Umbria (Italy) using two systems that use concepts and algorithms inherent to Artificial Intelligence: Kohonen self-organizing maps and fuzzy logic. The two systems have been applied to travertine samples belonging to quarries known to be sites of excavation from ancient times and monuments. Tests on quarry samples show a good discriminative power of both methods to recognize the exact provenance of most samples. The application of the systems to monument samples show that most of employed travertine stones were quarried from outcrops occurring in areas close to the towns where monuments have been erected. Results are in good agreement with historical data. |
