| Abstract: |
Describes the research and professional services which are deployed by English Heritage in the conservation of buildings, paintings, and artefacts. These include sophisticated computer techniques for making accurate 3D recordings of structures such as Stonehenge; DNA analysis of ancient bones, being pioneered on the cemetery assemblage from Wharram Percy; refined techniques for geophysical survey, such as revealed extensive Roman structures at Woodbury Farm (Devon); a study of the damage done to churches by bat droppings; and the development of freeze-drying methods to treat waterlogged organic materials. |
