Imaging in Conservation: Looking at artefacts under new light - Call for papers (11/10/2011
- 11/11/2011) 
Seminar organised by: ICON Archaeology Group and ICON Science GroupPlace: Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, UK
Address: STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
1st Announcement and Call for Speakers
This seminar is an opportunity to bring you up to date
with new imaging techniques used for archaeological artefacts.
Amongst others, computed radiography, laser scanning and 3-D
printing are becoming more accessible and as a result are
increasingly being used by the heritage sector.
But what are the advantages and limitations? How does it work and
how much does it cost?
This two day event will cover a number of imaging techniques,
feature case studies and give you the chance to see some of the
equipment in action. You can even bring an object along and try it
out on some of the equipment. The event will include a workshop on
how to make a proposal to use the instruments at ISIS, Diamond, and
other Large-scale facilities.
