Scientific and technological advancements give new and improved opportunities for the
preservation and interpretation of items of cultural and archaeological importance in
terms of composition, manufacturing methods and past restoration actions. Scientific
analysis of these objects is challenging task due to their complex composition, artistic and
historical values. This necessitates the use of minimally invasive and non-destructive
analytical procedures. This book describes the application of spectroscopic and
microscopy techniques to the world of archaeological and cultural heritage interpretation
and conservation. Among modern analytical techniques, those based on spectroscopies
and microscopy play a fundamental role. This review considers state-of-the-art techniques
applied in the complex field of cultural heritage.
