This book contains forty reviewed papers delivered at the
International Congress on Molecular Biology and Cultural Heritage
held in Seville, March 2003. It is divided in four parts, the first
one presents the state-of-the-art and reviews molecular techniques
applied to the study of microbial communities colonizing monuments
and cultural heritage assets. Part two covers specific molecular
techniques used in biodetereoration studies, part three includes an
updated overview on on-going biodetereoration European Commission
projects, and part four presents selected biodetereoration case
studies from all over the world.
In recent years, a debate has arisen concerning the convenience of
conserving subterranean cultural heritage and the necessary
management models. There is often pressure from local authorities
more interested in using the cultural heritage sites in order to
develop the economy and the tourism industry rather than in the
conservation of the cultural heritage itself. This has caused the
managing bodies to reconsider reopening of sites closed due to
serious conservation problems. This proceedings volume contains
selected papers presented at the International Workshop "The
Conservation of Subterranean Cultural Heritage", held 25-27 March
2014, in Seville, Spain. The workshop was organized by the Spanish
Network of Science and Technology for the Conservation of Cultural
Heritage (TechnoHeritage). The objective of the workshop was to
promote an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of all aspects of
the conservation of subterranean cultural heritage, providing at
the same time an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of the most
recent investigations. This book covers a wide range of scientific
dimensions of the conservation and management of caves and
necropolises. This state-of-the-art book will be of particular
interest to archaeologists, historians, conservationists, cultural
heritage specialists, architects, engineers and local and
governmental policy-makers. Richly illustrated and including a
16-page full-colour plate section.
This collection includes thirty-six important recent works on the
effects of pollutants on heritage sites, including thirty papers
delivered to the Seville International Workshop on Air Pollution
and Cultural Heritage in 2003, and six invited new additions. All
papers have been written by a team of leading international
contributors and are divided into five subject areas to cover the
main topics of interest today.
This volume is aimed at archaeologists and molecular biologists as
well as advanced students and researchers in the fields of
biodeterioration, building materials, micro-organisms and cultural
heritage.
