Abstract
Ion Beam Analysis has earned, along the many years of use, a solid reputation in the study of our cultural heritage, a fascinating and technically demanding research area. The early stages of this peculiar application of accelerator-based analysis have been quite slow, compared with the rapid growth of these techniques in other fields. However, the evolution of the field has been continuous and has led, today, to the implantation, in several centres, of highly specialized set-ups, capable of a multi parametric research approach, in fully conservative conditions. This work reviews the history of the field, its relations with the IBA mainstream and its milestones.
