In the last decades a particular collaboration between art and natu¬ral sciences has been developed and a co-operation between archaeology, art history and conservation-restoration on one side and physics, chemistry and biology on the other side seems fairly well established. Within that collaboration material analysis is of increasing importance as the booming development of analytical methods has brought a great number of new instrumental micro-analytical techniques with non-sampling (without taking original sample material) and in-situ applicability to an artifact. Instruments based on x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) as well as infrared (FTIR), Raman or UV-VIS spectroscopy are applied for the analysis of the original material in order to determine the authenticity of an object or the technology used for manufacturing the artifact. Addi¬tionally, material analysis has become an important issue in the field of conservation-restoration, as most of the materials are degraded during their storage or during their exhibition.
In the presentation a short overview of the analytical techniques available to scientist working in the field of cultural heritage is given and the applicability to objects of art and archaeology will be discussed. Furthermore, the degradation (corrosion) phenomena occurring on objects made of metals, glass and modern materials such as polymers will be presented and the role of chemistry in the field of conservation and preservation of such materials will be demonstrated.
