Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious blue stone widely used for different purposes since the antiquity but, at present, there are still some lacking information about both its trade in ancient times and the quarries exploited from different civilisations.

Ion beam induced luminescence (IBIL) is a powerful technique that provides information beyond those obtained by IBA methods. For instance, it can be used for the detection of rare earth elements, differentiation of mineral polymorphs and visualization of crystalline defects.
The coupling of IBA and IBIL is very promising for the study of complex targets such as Cultural Heritage artefacts....

Tartesic and Etruscan civilizations were coevals and show similar characteristics in jewel materials and manufacture. The aim of this work is to extend our studies on Tartesic jewellery carried on in the last 15 years by comparing these results with data obtained on some selected Etruscan gold works. Such an intercomparison can help to elucidate the early evolution of gold jewellery...
