Raman Spectroscopy in Archaeology and Art History: Volume 2, (Hardcover)

Ten years after the first volume, this book highlights the important contribution Raman spectroscopy makes as a non-destructive method for characterising the chemical composition of objects with archaeological and historical importance. The original book was ground-breaking in its concept, but the last ten years has seen some advancement into new areas, consolidation of some of the older ones and novel applications involving portable instrumentation, on site in museums and in the field. This new volume maintains the topic at the cutting edge with the Editors having approached prominent contributors to provide case-studies. Aimed at scientists involved in conservation, conservators/curators who want to better understand their collections at a material level and researchers of cultural heritage.
