Gems and Gemmology An Introduction for Archaeologists, Art-Historians and Conservators
Short Introductions to Cultural Heritage Science Series Editor Peter Vandenabeele Department of Archaeology Ghent University Ghent, Belgium
This book series addresses people in humanities (mainly archaeologists, art- historians, conservation scientists, anthropologists, historians, etc.) who are interested in the technical aspects of materials and/or objects. As this series aims to fill the gap in knowledge on technical aspects of different materials, readers should have a better understanding after studying the ‘introductions’ included in the series, which will refer to more advanced texts on the topic at hand. The series is didactic and provides sufficient background information to understand the different aspects of the materials studied. This gives readers the opportunity to reach a level that allows them to interact with specialists or to understand scientific papers in the specific research domain.
