The Archäologische Denkmalpflege Baden-Württemberg has used computed X-ray tomography (XCT) routinely since 2009. This non-destructive method is particularly advantageous in the case of excavated blocks containing finds of different materials. Some astonishing results have been achieved with it over the past years, especially on composites of metal and organic materials. One of the...

Style has played a major role in how archaeologists view material culture. Visual style, over technological style, has often dominated the study of materials due to the destructive nature of many investigative methods. Metallographic investigations, used to analyze metal production technology, are destructive and invasive; they require removing a section of the object. Neutron imaging, on...

53. Neutron imaging, a non-destructive method for the study of mobile cultural heritage. A close collaboration with the Neutra team at the PSI

Oral

The scientific staff at the laboratory for conservation research at the Swiss National Museum performs non-destructive or minimal invasive analyses of cultural heritage by means of micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry and infra-red and Raman spectrometry, in order to determine the composition of metal alloys, adhesives, pigments, colouring, precious and...

Japanese swords and armours have always been very attractive to the western culture because of their distinctive styles and technological features, which are considerably different from the corresponding objects familiar to western culture. Among the various components of the samurai’s armour, the kabuto assumes, for obvious reasons, considerable importance. The kabuto of the traditional...
