This subject aims to provide students with an introduction to the fundamental principles and practical applications of the major analytical techniques used in cultural materials conservation. The subject builds upon the students' knowledge gained in CUMC90032 Technical Examination and Documentation, and CUMC90033 Cultural Materials Conservation Science. Students learn to devise appropriate testing regimes, prepare samples, undertake analysis and manage analytical data.
During the pre-teaching period students are expected to complete the course readings, review the lectures and any other course preparation as outlined on the LMS. The LMS will become available at the commencement of the pre-teaching dates
Intended learning outcomes
Upon completion of this subject students should:
- understand the role and practical application of analysis in conservation
- have the ability to evaluate research literature, select appropriate analytical methods, determine analytical pathways, and prepare samples for analysis
