Comparison of elemental composition of parchment samples. Data are reported as weight %. One-way ANOVA/Tukey's t-test comparisons are reported: Statistically significant differences (P < 0.001) in elemental composition is marked with different letters (a, b, c). Sample ‘Ve-3’ was measured in unstained areas (V-3i, intact) and in damaged ones (V-3b, biodeteriorated).
