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.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.
