Reverse Engineering of Ancient Metals

Zusatztext

This book examines archaeometallurgy and the preservation of ancient materials for cultural heritage.  Through understanding the internal structures of relevant ancient materials, their chemical composition, resistance, hardness, etc., their conservation can be more effectively addressed.  Preserving cultural artifacts, such as those from border sites, funerary contexts (burials), railway lines, ceremonial sites and road infrastructure, is necessary to provide perspective to a cultures trajectory. This book addresses how Reverse Engineering can disseminate knowledge of a cultures heritage by offering technology that can help restore artifacts so they may be displayed and utilized as educational objects.
