New book on scientific analysis in heritage

The illustrated handbook:

    Viaduct, a communication tool for scientific
    analysis in heritage.
    Diadrasis research programme, eds.  Lucia Gomez-Robles and
    Laura-Melpomeni Tapini
    Athens: Diadrasis, 2015

is now available to purchase.

viaduct has been a research conducted by DIADRASIS with main aim was
the creation of comprehension tools for bridging communication gaps
of different heritage professionals on scientific analysis for the
Built Heritage.

In the handbook and the website

    <URL:http://www.viaduct-diadrasis.net>

the research team categorized and explained 21 most commonly used
methods for characterization and dating of the Built Heritage.
Viaduct handbook is not meant to compete with the extended
scientific literature but to become a friendly for the user tool of
research.
