Joint UHH and DESY research perspectives in artefact profiling: written artefacts and materials science
We are pleased to announce the first PIER Workshop on “Joint UHH and DESY research perspectives in artefact profiling: written artefacts and materials science” taking place at the DESY FLASH seminar room on 26 April 2024.
"Artefact Profiling" designates the cross-disciplinary research on written artefacts that involves various subjects in the humanities, the natural sciences and computer science. It was added as a PIER Emerging Topic to the PIER portfolio in 2023 based on the cooperation between DESY, TUHH and the Cluster of Excellence ‘Understanding Written Artefacts’ (UWA) at UHH. Together, these institutions develop new methodologies in material analysis and ‘fingerprinting’ of cultural heritage objects in order to learn more about the history, preservation, and provenance of written artefacts.
This PIER workshop presents recent developments in four joint projects on cuneiform clay tablets, paper and South Asian palm leaves, using technologies such as the large-scale analytical facilities at DESY and the newly developed portable X-ray tomograph ‘ENCI’, which recently returned from its first mission to the Louvre in Paris.

Registration deadline: 22 April 2024
This workshop is part of the PIER research perspectives workshops series. Further information past and future events in the series are available here.
