"Synchrotron Radiation for Cultural Heritage Materials" Webinar

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) Student Ambassadors organize the webinar "Synchrotron Radiation for Cultural Heritage Materials".

This webinar will explore how synchrotron radiation contributes to the study of diverse Cultural Heritage materials, including ceramics, metals, pigments, and bones. Through selected case studies, we will demonstrate how synchrotron-based techniques, such as X-Ray Fluorescence, X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, Computed Tomography, offer unique insights into composition, microstructure, and alteration processes that are otherwise inaccessible with conventional techniques.

Building on examples from ongoing research, the webinar will highlight how these analytical approaches help archaeologists, conservators, and heritage scientists answer key questions about technology, provenance, and preservation. The webinar also aims to open a dialogue between cultural heritage researchers and synchrotron beamline scientists, laying the groundwork for future interdisciplinary collaborations.

Part 1 of the series will focus on Synchrotron applications for ceramics and bones, and on Computed Tomography for Cultural Heritage materials.

Invited Speakers (Part 1):
Carlo Marini (Beamline Group Leader, ALBA Synchrotron, Spain)
Simone Lemmers (MSCA Research Fellow, Elettra Synchrotron, Italy) and Ilaria Carlomagno (Beamline Scientist, Elettra Synchrotron, Italy)
Vincent Fernandez (Beamline Scientist, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF, France)

Date: Wednesday, 3 December 2025
Time: 14:00 GMT (15:00 Spain time)
