Abstract

A versatile spectrochemical technique enabling nearly instant, multi-element analysis of materials, LIBS is increasingly employed in studies of archaeological and historical objects, monuments and works of art. The development of several mobile LIBS instruments opens a lot more possibilities for analytical campaigns on site: at museums, conservation laboratories and even outdoors at excavation sites or historical monuments. The basic concepts underlying the use of LIBS in the context of cultural heritage studies are briefly reviewed along with technical and instrumentation aspects. Selected examples of analytical studies are discussed with emphasis on cases that demonstrate the use of mobile LIBS instruments.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The 1st diocese of Nevers was established in the 6th C on the ruins of an ancient Gallo-Roman site. The first building had the distinction of having the choir facing west. At the end of the 8th C, the building in a state of disrepair was rebuilt and in 1224, after a fire, the cathedral underwent another reconstruction but this time in the new Gothic style. Although the choir and transept novel had been preserved, a new choir facing east, was built. Between the 15th and the 18th C, new chapels were added, furniture and decor were fortified, site reconstruction of the south tower was taken and the north tower was covered. In the second half of the 18th C, the tiles that covered until the cathedral was replaced by slates, a bell tower was built and new decorations of the choir were made. It was during this work that the rood screen was destroyed.
