Abstract
The Fourier-transform (FT) Raman spectra of genuine samples of scrimsh aw are reported and compared with those of fake scrimshaw, ivory and h uman milk tooth. The major spectral features in all systems examined w ere assigned. The application of the FT-Raman technique to the non-des tructive diagnostic identification of scrimshaw and simulated scrimsha w artefacts is demonstrated.
