The freshwater reservoir effect in radiocarbon dating

Bente Philippsen · 2 Aug 2013

Abstract The freshwater reservoir effect can result in anomalously old radiocarbon ages of samples from lakes and rivers. This includes the bones of people whose subsistence was based on freshwater fish, and pottery in which fish was cooked. Water rich in dissolved ancient calcium carbonates, commonly known as hard water, is the most common reason…

3D technologies for intangible cultural heritage preservation—literature review for selected databases

Maria Skublewska‐Paszkowska, Marek Miłosz, Paweł Powroźnik et al. · 4 Jan 2022

Conservation of cultural heritage is nowadays a very important aspect of our lives. Thanks to such legacy we gain knowledge about our ancestors, methods of production and ways of their life. The rapid development of 3D technology allows for more and more faithful reflection of this area of life. The rich cultural heritage, both tangible…

BIM for heritage science: a review

Danae Phaedra Pocobelli, J. Boehm, Paul Bryan et al. · 16 May 2018

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new process that is spreading in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction field. It allows the creation of virtual building models, which can be linked to numerical data, texts, images, and other types of information. Building components, such as walls, floors, etc. are modelled as “smart objects”, i.e. they…

Identification of pigments by multispectral imaging; a flowchart method

Antonino Cosentino · 17 Mar 2014

Abstract The literature on the application of Multispectral and Hyperspectral imaging for identification of pigments on artworks is sparse. While these methods do not provide the analytical capability that spectroscopies do offer, the use of spectral imaging has the advantage of being a rapid and relatively low-cost solution for the examination of large areas. This…

On the stability of mediaeval inorganic pigments: a literature review of the effect of climate, material selection, biological activity, analysis and conservation treatments

Alessia Coccato, Luc Moëns, Peter Vandenabeele · 22 Mar 2017

Abstract This review is to be considered part of the development of the MEMORI dosimeter, to evaluate the impact of climate (relative humidity, temperature, illumination, etc., including volatile organic compounds) on moveable objects. In the framework of the MEMORI project, Ghent University was given the task to assess pigment degradation upon acetic acid exposure, and…
