CERTO

The 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐑𝐀-𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 is an open access integrated spectral library, of art-related materials, that was designed by CERTO – INOE 2000 as a digital support tool for research specialists and other heritage-related professionals that work with non- or minimally invasive spectroscopic techniques.

From 7 to 12 of May, our team attended one of the most prestigious conferences in the field, 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 – 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆, hosted by Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal. CERTO contributed with 6 presentations in several sections of the conference.

We invite you to read our latest article published in 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 that proposes a new approach for correlating time-lapse thermal image sets with a referenced 3D surface in an interactive virtual medium using 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘨𝘭 and 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘫𝘴. The paper details all the data acquisition processes (for both thermal and 3D digitization) but also the development stages behind the web application.

We are excited to announce that our study, 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘪 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪-𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩, published in 2020 in the journal 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (Wiley) has been recognized as a 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞.

We invite you to read our latest article published in 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 on the current state of the art in the application of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in the field of heritage science. This review article has been featured as a 𝑻𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒄 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 in the Encyclopedia MDPI platform.

We are honored to have our study on the 1772 Taskin harpsichord included in the select bibliography dealing with the ethics of conservation and restoration of musical instruments of Dr. Grant O’Brien, a leading expert in the field of early keyboard instruments.

We invite you to read our latest article published in 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 about the corroboration of LIBS and HSI data for discerning and mapping the different materials present in the walls of the Medieval Turkish Bath from Golești Museum.

We are excited to announce that three of our colleagues will be guest editors for an upcoming special issue within the journal 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬. All scholars interested in the characterization and provenance analysis of archaeological materials using multi-method analysis are welcome to contribute.
