Abstract

Alexandrie était la deuxième ville de l'Empire romain et un centre culturel et technique unique jusqu'aux premiers siècles de notre ère.Les ruines de la ville, en partie sous-marines, sont très difficiles d'exploitation et sont loin d'avoir livré leurs informations. Les techniques modernes de l'archéologie (instrumentation, méthodes numériques, pluridisciplinarité) apportent depuis quelques décennies des informations qui ne cessent d'étonner.L'utilisation des papyrus, l'amélioration des encres, le développement des pigments, l'art de la céramique, l'amélioration et la diversification du verre comme matériau... On est stupéfait de voir la parfaite maîtrise des artisans d'Alexandrie.La chimie et la physico-chimie permettent de dévoiler la composition fine des matériaux mis en œuvre, de comprendre les procédés de fabrication, les origines des composants et leur évolution avec les époques. C'est alors toute l'activité de cet impressionnant fleuron de l'Antiquité qui apparaît : l'exploration des pays voisins, les voyages, le commerce, l'importation des techniques et la puissance de leurs inventions.Les meilleurs spécialistes, en particulier provenant du Centre d'Études Alexandrines, présentent de façon scientifique et très claire les points forts d'Alexandrie et les enseignements tirés par l'archéologie de ces travaux effectués dans des conditions si particulières ; ils ont ainsi conduit à l'introduction de nouvelles techniques de conservation, par exemple pour l'archéologie sous-marine.

Abstract

Chemistry serves a critical role in the fields of archaeology and art, from assisting in the reconstruction of humanity's past to the preservation of priceless works of art. Exploring the interface of chemistry, art, and archaeology within the chemistry curriculum can help students understand and engage in core chemistry concepts. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive description of tested pedagogical activities, laboratories, courses, and study abroad experiences at the intersection of chemistry, art, and archaeology.

Abstract

This is the first book to combine chemistry with techniques of preserving archaeological wood. Among the topics discussed in its 17 chapters are the chemical composition of wood and changes brought about by the decay process, biopredators, radiation curing, freeze-drying, chemical preservation techniques, museum environments, the ethics of conservation, and value systems for choosing among the qualities of wood that can be preserved. This volume provides understanding, from a scientific perspective of archaeological wood, its properties, its chemistry and its preservation.

Abstract

The text which follows is based largely on the personal experience of the authors. The examples used which concern archaeological material, thin sections of sherds and many of the case studies are for the most part those which we have developed ourselves. This experience. may seem biased when one thinks of the large experience of petrographic archaeology, and this is surely true, but it is a reflection of our observations which are more complete for the objectives we have in mind than most of the examples given in the literature. For example, we have access to initial sherds, photo­ graphs, grain-size measurements and so forth for the same materials and we can present a specific archaeological context and problem using these data. Of course, there have been many studies on the same general subjects published elsewhere. As it turns out, our collective experience covers two of the major fields of investigation, the old (European) world and the new (American) one. It is evident that the problems are different in these two worlds. The contexts of production, distribution and use are different. The evolution of tech­ niques is very different although covering similar time periods. These two view points are complementary and, we hope, will enrich the investigative methods and outlook of workers in both cultural areas.
