Call for speakers--Imaging in conservation

Final Call for Speakers

"Imaging in Conservation: Looking at artefacts under new light"
Organised by the Icon Archaeology Group and Icon Science Group
STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
Harwell Campus
Oxfordshire OX11 0QX
10-11 November 2011

This seminar is the ideal 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.
