tailieunhanh - PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES IN THE STUDY OF ART, ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE VOLUME 2

In this Volume 2 of the series on the use of physical techniques for the study of art, archaeology, and cultural heritage, we continue our policy of choosing topics from widely different fields of cultural heritage conservation. Also, we have chosen authors both in their early and late careers. In Chapter 1, Dudley Creagh writes on “Synchrotron radiation and its use in art, archaeometry, and cultural heritage studies”. He is Professor and a Director of the Cultural Heritage Research Centre at the University of Canberra, Canberra, Australia | PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES IN THE STUDY OF ART ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE Volume 2 Edited by DUDLEY CREAGH Ở DAVID BRADLEY PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES IN THE STUDY OF ART ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE VOLUME 2 Cover illustration The images printed on the cover are taken from the chapter by Maria Kubik Chapter 5 and show a plain photograph and two hyperspectral images of a painting in the collection of the Australian War Memorial.
