Electrochemical Methods in Archaeometry, Conservation and Restoration

From the reviews:

This monograph is most suitable for electrochemists wanting to learn about applications in archeology and art conservation. chapters are written at a lower-division undergraduate level and are easily accessible to a general educated public. Summing Up: Recommended. upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty with a background in electrochemistry. (L. D. Frame, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)

A valuable and well-prepared book for analysts, archaeologists, and art historians. It is written by competent authors with considerable electroanalytical experience and knowledge of material science and who are working practically in the field of application of chemical analysis for archaeometry. The book is well illustrated from the point of view of both the fundamentals of the methods discussed and also numerous applications. There are numerous citations to original papers published in scientific journals which is very useful in searching for the original literature.

This new monograph provides a well-written insight into a field of practical electrochemistry of fascinating samples. give a very helpful overview with many examples and references. provide a valuable resource to art analysts and conservationists with a broad range of information accumulated into a unique single resource. In conclusion, this book is written in an approachable style to encourage novices in electrochemistry into the field, and it is likely to catalyse new interactions at the interface between art conservation and electrochemistry.
