Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
•Apply an integrated methodology for approaching concrete archaeological sites from both a geological and a physicochemical point of view;
•Apply electronic microscopy in cultural heritage artefacts and interpret the results.
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course aims at a complete study of real concrete cases, addressing both artefacts and monumental buildings/archaeological sites. The scientific and technical background is offered by courses ARCP02, ARCP05, ARCH02 and ARCH03, as well as with the material of the present course.
Students are acquainted with the application of the integrated methodology used by conservation scientists for approaching concrete artefacts/archaeological sites from a geological and a physicochemical point of view. In addition, students are acquainted with the application of electronic microscopy in cultural heritage artefacts and the interpretation of the results.
