Full Description
In this unique collection the authors present a wide range of
interdisciplinary methods to study, document, and conserve material
cultural heritage. The methods used serve as exemplars of best practice
with a wide variety of cultural heritage objects
having been recorded, examined, and visualised. The objects range in
date, scale, materials, and state of preservation and so
pose different research questions and challenges for digitization,
conservation, and ontological representation of knowledge. Heritage
science and specialist digital technologies are presented in a way
approachable to non-scientists, while a separate technical section provides details of methods and techniques, alongside examples of notable
applications of spatial and spectral documentation of material cultural
heritage, with selected literature and identification of future
research. This book is an outcome of interdisciplinary research and debates conducted by the participants of the COST Action TD1201, Colour and Space in Cultural Heritage, 2012-16 and is an Open Access publication available under a CC BY-NC-ND licence.
