He is the director of STARLAB, a mobile laboratory facility for heritage sciences, performing in situ physic-chemical measurements and digital documentation and analysis on archaeological sites, heritage monuments, artefacts and works of art.
This research therefore demonstrates the complexity of translating a model developed in the laboratory to a real heritage setting.
This paper describes how 2D and 3D numerical modelling can be used in order to design a representative model of a built cultural heritage structure to test at the laboratory and to characterize its behaviour.
Until recently, items of cultural heritage significance have been studied only using laboratory-based techniques.
Fifty samples were radiocarbon dated at the CIRCE laboratory (Centre for Isotopic Research for Cultural and Environmental heritage).
The patch that was damaged here last Thursday was part of a research project at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a field with a distinguished scientific heritage.
Section 5 presents the validation of two illumination setups in laboratory and on-field acquisitions of cultural heritage artifacts.
All these devices are readily available in a laboratory environment and, in particular, given the technological heritage from LTP, we estimate the technological readiness to be TRL 6.
Especially in the context of built heritage, stone can also be conceptualized as a "large scale laboratory" in which the evolution of weathering, and thus past exposure conditions, can be studied (analogous to physical landscape studies).
Twice Britain has tried to get Down House – and the sinuous countryside, now dubbed "Darwin's Landscape Laboratory", that surrounds it – onto the list of world heritage sites.
