In May 2008 many polychrome terra-cotta figures were excavated from Shanwang village,Linzi City of Shandong Province.To get information on the construction and components of the pigments used,polarized light microscopy (PLM),crosssection and Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze the pigment samples on the surface of the polychrome relics.The result shows that white lime was applied as a ground.Calcium carbonate,white earth,iron oxide black, iron oxide red,cinnabar and so on.were mixed and used as pigments. The thickness of the pigment layer is uneven.A little Chinese blue (BaCuSi₄O₁₀) pigment was found in a few samples,which is an important discovery resulting from this research.The analysis can provide scientific information for archaeological research.
