Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Heritage physics involves the application of scientific techniques and technologies to answer questions about our cultural heritage and to enable our understanding and conservation of this. As scientific techniques have evolved across the past century from the earliest methods for age determination to modern day composition analysis, these have increased our ability to deepen our knowledge about ancient and historical artefacts as well as to preserve and restore them. This conference will survey the history of how the illumination of the past has developed as new fields of physics have progressed.
