Cultural Heritage

Oral

The application of science and technology to the characterization and the conservation of heritage materials has significantly increased over the last decades. Due to the manifold nature and the value of artefact of cultural heritage significance, studies in archaeometry require a transdisciplinary approach as well as the use of non-invasive multiple analytical techniques.
Today ANSTO’s large...

90. Neutron Imaging: benefits and Case Studies in Palaeontology and Cutlural Heritage

Joseph Bevitt (ANSTO)

Cultural Heritage

Oral

Conventional and synchrotron-based X-ray computed tomography (XCT) have been utilised for many years as critical tools in uncovering 3-D internal and surface renderings of scientifically important fossils, cultural artefacts and other specimens held in museum and university collections. DINGO, Australia’s thermal-neutron micro-computed tomography (nCT) instrument, is being used to obtain...

104. Residual stress measurements for cultural heritage

Dr Vladimir Luzin (ANSTO)

Cultural Heritage

Oral

The neutron residual stress analysis can be used as a forensic method for studying non-destructively objects of cultural heritage. A number of case studies on ancient weaponry were collected over the period of the Cultural Heritage Project at ACNS, ranging from the bronze age blades to more recent iron age swords. In the given presentation, the use of the neutron diffraction method is...
