الأهداف

• is course provides an introduction to students on the types of examination and analysis used in the field of conservation of inorganic archaeological materials. The course provides the students with a solid foundation on each type of examination and analysis. The course instructs the students on how to read these analytical examinations in a scientific method. This will be the first step in the conservation method that is compatible with the conservation requirements. Students will discuss destructive, versus non-destructive methodologies and the range of accuracies. The course will overview several analytical scientific analytical tests such as the optical microscope, polarized microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (S.E.M) ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF)..
