First post: chemical spot testing workshop

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting a chemical spot testing workshop here at the JIAA with Nancy Odegaard and Scott Carlee, authors of the incredibly useful book 'Material Characterization Tests for Objects of Art and Archaeology'. Three of our conservation staff took part as well as Gordion conservation intern Elizabeth Drolet and Peter Cobb.

The three day workshop covered some of the tests more relevant to archaeological conservation including metals, organic material and salts. Thanks for a great week Nancy and Scott and all the best for your travels to Iraq!
