Abstract

In the last decade portable devices for the analysis of Cultural Heritage (e.g. laser-scanners, spectroscopes, XRF) have reached levels of reliability that can replace benchtop instruments and enable in situ survey. One of the most effective application is the digitization and diagnosis of artworks preserved inside museums. Indeed, moving art objects or finds from the place of preservation to specific laboratories can often be difficult for several reasons such as fragility, large size, risk of damage, lack of authorizations etc. The paper shows the results of a collaboration between the IPCF-CNR of Messina and the Archaeological Museum of Lipari aimed at creating a mobile laboratory or chemical analysis and 3D digitization of artefacts presenting different challenges. The activities have been carried out using two high-performing and non-contact tools: a laser-scanner arm by Faro (sometimes in combination with an external camera) and a handheld Raman spectrometer by Bruker. The test was performed to plan more extensive and systematic analyses of other materials preserved in Lipari, which will be soon examined as part of an ongoing agreement between the two institutions. The results of this test clearly demonstrate the advantages, both in terms of scientific results and dissemination, that can be achieved when science and the humanities dialogue for a common goal.
