CLT HTG 210LCultural Materials Science Laboratory: Technical Study
Conservation of Cultural Heritage · 4 units · Graduate courses (200-299)
Research-based laboratory through object-based problem-solving approach in conservation materials science. Experimental techniques, characterization, and analysis of archaeological and ethnographic materials (using materials science principles and reverse engineering processes) to determine technological features, defects, and products of alteration. Hands-on experience with noninvasive imaging and spectroscopic techniques, sampling and sample preparation methods, analysis of microsamples.
