LABORATORY PRACTICE

Obiettivi formativi

This module is intended to provide students with practical knowledge on Practical Laboratory classes in innovative imaging and chemical analytical techniques applied to Cultural Heritage and Archaeometry. Students will be able to develop critical thinking in assessing the potential and limitations inherent to the technologies studied in order to be able to correctly apply them to real case studies.
