ESSENTIAL CHEMISTRY AS COLORANTS OF INTEREST IN ARCHAEOLOGY
Keywords:
Organic Dye, Colorants, SERSAbstract
This paper presenting some of the chemistry behind the colour of dyes and how the target material, for example a fibre, influences the method of dyeing and the dye used. Organic Dyes in chemistry plays an important role where color is an important feature of a manufactured product. Hereby, we made an attempt to explain possible chemistry used in archaeology with research in this area.
