This webinar will explore how synchrotron radiation contributes to the study of diverse cultural heritage materials, including ceramics, metals, pigments, and bones, through selected case studies including XRF, XAS, XRD, CT, which offer insights into composition, microstructure, and alteration processes that are otherwise inaccessible with conventional methods.
Building on examples from current ongoing research by experts in the field, the webinar will highlight how these analytical approaches help archaeologists, conservators, and heritage scientists answer key questions about 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. The webinar also aims to open a dialogue between cultural heritage researchers and synchrotron beamline scientists, laying the groundwork for 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
