By Roxanne Radpour, Associate Editor for Archaeological Pigments
A review on the application of materials science to investigations and concerns for art and archaeological materials is out! Read through to see the impact of reverse engineering ancient materials such as synthetic pigments and Roman concrete, the probing into technological and artistic production, i.e. in ancient glass and vessel painting, as well as the importance of material degradation and alteration studies for their conservation. Bonus: get a glimpse, if you’re interested, on an overview of more modern cultural heritage materials, as well!
