Joint ESRF-CNRS Workshop, satellite to the 15th ESRF Users' Meeting
Archaeology and archaeometry are two emergent fields in materials science with an increasing demand of access to SR-based techniques such as X-ray imaging, X-ray Diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and IR spectroscopy. Synchrotron radiation techniques provide powerful new ways to interrogate the records of our physical and cultural past. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss and explore the current and potential applications of synchrotron science to problems in archaeology and art conservation. Bringing together key members of the synchrotron community and experts in the disciplines of Archaeology, Archaeological Science, Art Conservation and Materials Science, the interdisciplinary workshop will report their latest research accomplishments, highlight ongoing projects, and catalyse new interactions between these fields. The aim of this international Workshop is to help identify problems in European Archaeology that can benefit from the application of SR techniques.
