Earth Sciences For Cultural Heritage, February 2016, Vol. 12, No. 1
$20.00
Archaeometry and conservation science are connected to the geosciences in three ways. Earth scientists can perceive the complexity of natural materials and of the artifacts produced by human activities, they understand the geological and physico-chemical processes acting on them, and they have a mastery of the techniques used to investigate heritage materials at different scales.
Earth Sciences For Cultural Heritage
February 2016, Vol. 12, No. 1
Archaeometry and conservation science are connected to the geosciences in three ways. Earth scientists can perceive the complexity of natural materials and of the artifacts produced by human activities, they understand the geological and physico-chemical processes acting on them, and they have a mastery of the techniques used to investigate heritage materials at different scales. Many techniques can be applied non-invasively, preserving the integrity of art/archaeological objects that are often characterized by uniqueness, fragility, high complexity, and heterogeneity. The goal is to understand the fine interplay between human activities, georesources, and natural processes: in short, the history of mankind and human societies on Earth. This issue uses selected examples to demonstrate how the geosciences offer a way to better understand, interpret, and preserve our past.
