Cultural Heritage Projects

We work with Archaeologists, Curators, Conservators, Technical Art Historians, and Academic Researchers to investigate a wide range of research questions, including pigment and binder identification and sequencing, analysis of under-layers and overpainting, large area surveys, surface degradation, microfade analysis, condition monitoring, and reconstruction or reinterpretation of altered objects. Many of these projects have been published in peer reviewed journals in the field of Heritage Science.
