Archeometry and restoration. The technological innovations

Presentation of the book
Friday November 9 - 2012, from 10 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. - Talking Corner

The natural sciences and the technology now provide the factual basis on which are based the modern approach to the preservation and the promotion of cultural heritage. This publication aims to encourage the process of dissemination and contamination between the different competences involved through the presentation of a wide selection of the most advanced techniques of archaeometry and restoration. Besides the current state of the art and the description of the different principles of operation, the meeting illustrates the innovations gained in recent research projects, studies and restorations that have facilitated the development of devices, materials and innovative methods. The book is the result of the common efforts of several research groups with a high degree of specialization that have provided, in most cases fundamental contributions to the techniques of archaeometry and restoration which are documented in the extensive bibliographies, making it a leading role internationally in their respective fields of research and development.

Attending: Salvatore Siano, First Researcher at the Istituto di Fisica Applicata "N. Carrara", CNR of Florence, author of the book
