‘Pavement, Pots and Pigments: Applied Geology in Cultural Heritage’
Dr Ruth Siddall, UCL
Abstract
Applied geology is a poorly recognised discipline in the UK. However, a great variety of geologically derived materials have and are being used in art, architecture and functional design. This talk will present the author’s experience of applying geological techniques and experiences to the analysis of archaeological and art historical cultural materials.
