Instrumental methods in analysis of cultural heritage objects 1200-2MON15L
First lectures are devoted to presentation of the basic idea of scientific investigation in conservation of Works of Art and archaeology. Students will be given an overview of analytical destructive, micro-destructive and non-destructive methods used in conservation science as well as in archaeometry. Planning of scientific investigations including chemical analysis towards preservation and development of new conservation treatments will be presented during the lecture with emphasis on practical aspects of the latest methodologies and technologies for investigation of cultural heritage materials. Examples of scientific investigations devoted to conservation and documentation of archaeological and historical objects will be given (Photography, Thermography, Autoradiography, Neutronography, Rentgenography, Computed Tomography, Acustic Emission, SEM, SEM-EDS, NAA, XRF, XRD, XANES, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS, HPLC, GC-MS, PIXE, PIGE and other)
