| Abstract: |
Introduces English Heritage's (EH's) Ancient Monuments Laboratory, located within the organisation's London headquarters in Savile Row. The Laboratory's main activity is conservation and scientific support relating to archaeological excavations. However, it aims to provide scientific advice and support across the whole spectrum of EH's work; recent tasks have included studying the effects of acid rain on buildings, determining the date of a building to assess eligibility for grant aid, advising on the removal of explosives from a contaminated listed building, and advising on the conservation of the Tudor warship Mary Rose. The Laboratory is divided into five sections, each of which is described briefly here. In addition to applying established techniques to archaeological problems, new techniques are also explored and developed, assisted by the Laboratory's close links with universities and museums and by liaison with the Science-based Archaeology Committee of the Science and Engineering Research Council.
