Description

This module provides an introduction to the variety of aspects of heritage science, ranging from exploring the concept and value of heritage, to the role that science, engineering and digital technologies can have in in this multi-disciplinary field. You will acquire new skills in a highly pragmatic context, incorporating team working, problem-based teaching, case-based learning, discussions, presentations and reports. At the end of the module, you will be able to:

  • use the framework of heritage values to interpret scientific results;
  • understand, interpret and document typologies of art, heritage and archaeology;
  • recognise value typologies;
  • understand digitisation and preservation of digitally born information;
  • appreciate aspects of material and environmental change;
