ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 1.50 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Blended learning

Short description:

The goal of the lecture is to provide students with a knowledge about principles and practical aspects of using instrumental techniques in archaeometry and conservation chemistry.

Full description:

First lectures are devoted to presentation of the basic idea of scientific investigation in conservation of Works of Art and archaeology. Students will be given an overview of analytical destructive, micro-destructive and non-destructive methods used in conservation science as well as in archaeometry. Planning of scientific investigations including chemical analysis towards preservation and development of new conservation treatments will be presented during the lecture with emphasis on practical aspects of the latest methodologies and technologies for investigation of cultural heritage materials. Examples of scientific investigations devoted to conservation and documentation of archaeological and historical objects will be given (Photography, Thermography, Autoradiography, Neutronography, Rentgenography, Computed Tomography, Acustic Emission, SEM, SEM-EDS, NAA, XRF, XRD, XANES, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS, HPLC, GC-MS, PIXE, PIGE and other)
