Crombie et al. 2025 - RT-SIRM, ZFC-FC and hysteresis data

This data is part of a study looking at a novel approach to the analysis and characterisation of archaeological ochres, working towards the application of magnetic analytical methods to the provenance of ochre pigments. The use of measurements such as room temperature – saturation isothermal remnant magnetisation (RT-SIRM), magnetic hysteresis loops and zero-field-cooled/field-cooled (ZFC-FC) allow for the identification of a magnetic mineral profile in the ochre samples, which can, in turn, be used to fingerprint sources.
