Lecture 5 (2023-24) : Portable NMR for structural diagnostic in heritage science
The 5th lecture of the 2nd edition of the “Current Topics in Heritage Science”was delivered by Bernhard Blümich, on the topic: Portable NMR for structural diagnostic in heritage science on Thursday, February 22nd at 3.00 pm (CET), using the Zoom webinar platform. This lecture introduced the participants to nondestructive methods of analysis, focusing on portable NMR technique. The talk is about: how portable NMR works and how the instrument is operated will be explained, and its use in analyzing objects of cultural heritage was illustrated in three case studies: 1) Comparative investigation of the mortar-layer stratigraphy of Roman frescoes; 2) the preservation state of master violins; and 3) the effect of solvent in varnish removal of easel paintings.
Lecture 2: Principles of holographic interferometry for non-destructive subsurface examination
Lecture 4: Past, present and future of citizen heritage science
Lecture 6: Sirius – a powerful tool to study ancient materials with synchrotron light
Lecture 8: X-ray imaging in cultural heritage: the past to the present
Lecture 10: Towards cathedrals of digital data and multidisciplinary knowledge in heritage science
Lecture 2 (2023-24) : AI in the Loop: Enhancing Cultural Property Protection Activities through Intelligent Methods
Lecture 4 (2023-24) : Open and FAIR Science with a case study from the FAIR Phytoliths project
Lecture 6 (2023-24) : Dendrochronology: tree rings, art, archaeology
The 6th lecture of the 2nd edition of the “Current Topics in Heritage Science”was delivered by Pascale Fraiture and Vincent Labbas, on the topic: Dendrochronology: tree rings, art, archaeology on Thursday, March 28th at 3.00 pm (CET), using the Zoom webinar platform. This lecture introduced the participants to the dendrochronological approach applied to cultural heritage. A practical look at how it can be applied to cultural heritage, with particular emphasis on dating, reliability and accuracy, was provided.
