دانلود کتاب Geomaterials in Cultural Heritage (Geological Society Special Publication No. 257)

This volume gives a broad view of the application of geoscience techniques to the study of monuments and objects from excavations and museums, including their origin, technique of manufacture, age and conservation, and reaffirms the important contribution of geosciences in the interdisciplinary approach to the study of complex materials such as minerals, rocks, glass, metals, mortar, plaster, slags and pottery. The papers in this book cover three topics: the study of pottery, glass, stone and mortar; the application of Raman spectroscopy to a wide variety of objects; and the future of archaeometry. These interdisciplinary studies include field geology, geophysics, microscopy, textural analysis, physical methods and geochemistry. These studies unlock information from the ancient materials, such as the provenance of raw materials, the firing technology, the ancient recipes and the alteration pathways.Also available: Forensic Geoscience: Principles, Techniques And Applications - ISBN 1862391610 Natural Stone, Weathering Phenomena, Conservation Strategies and Case Studies - ISBN 1862391238 Geoarchaeology: Exploration, Environments, Resources - ISBN 1862390533
