XRF and 3D Modelling on a Composite Etruscan Helmet

The presentation of X-ray fluorescence data (XRF) assays is commonly restricted to tables or graphical representations. While the latter may sometimes be in a 3D format, they have yet incorporate actual objects are from. multiple XRF on model allows for more accessible data, particularly composite objects, and aids their interpretation. We present method display interpolate assay models using PyVista Python package. This creates texture object that displays relative differences elemental composition. A crested helmet from Tomb 1036 Casale del Fosso necropolis, Veii, Italy, used exemplify this method. results analysis presented show variation composition across helmet, which also corresponds with macroscopic decorrelation stretching analyses.
