Possibilities of PC utilisation for archaeological pottery and potsherds reconstruction/evaluation
Svobodová, Ljuba
In 1995 the Archaeological Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences decided to establish the so called descriptive laboratory. The main target was to apply new methods and use the advantages and features of PCs for research of ancient pottery and its potsherds in a close co-operation with the usual ceramics laboratory. Every ceramic piece is very carefully cleaned, weighted, measured (length and thickness) and labelled with unique identification code tag. All obtained data including the descriptive features are loaded in the computer. After that all the pieces are given to the ceramics laboratory to perform their usual traditional work. All the resulting reconstructed pottery or its parts are then documented graphically and mathematically by descriptive laboratory again.
Effect of storage conditions on ageing process of plastics
Kovářová, Jana ; Špaček, V. ; Řeháková, H.
Autooxidation, a chemical chain reaction, is an important part of various forms of degradation of most polymeric materials. During time and in relation to the particular conditions under which the polymers serve (temperature, air oxygen, sun irradiation, ozone, mechanical treatment, impurities etc.) undesirable and irreversible changes in their structure and useful properties take place.The necessity to use appropriate antioxidants and stabilizers for slowing down the degradation processes is mentioned.
methods of polymer analysis in characterization of collectible materials
Holler, Petr ; Svitáková, Romana ; Hollerová, P.
Spectral and chromatographic methods were used for identification and characterization of partly degraded polymers contained in collectable objects from Beroun museum.
