Abstract

Abstract Welcome Message from the Conference Chairs On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we wish to welcome you to the 2021 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage - MetroArchaeo2021. The combined use of numerical approaches and metrology in archaeology and, more generally, in the study of cultural heritage, is a firmly established reality in contemporary research, which is undergoing rapid evolution both in the scale, type and scope of applications. Metrology includes both theoretical and practical aspects with reference to measurements, whatever their uncertainties are, and in whatever fields of science or technology they occur. The characterization, valorisation and preservation of cultural heritage are therefore deeply related to metrological issues, for the collection, interpretation and validation of data, through the use of different analytical tools, physical-chemical and mechanical techniques, digital technologies, new ICT tools. MetroArchaeo2021 aims to gather a wide range of scholars and heritage scientists working in universities and research centres, museums, galleries, libraries, archives, small and medium enterprises. MetroArchaeo2021 is conceived as an occasion to foster exchanges of ideas and information, to establish connections and collaborations, and to share innovative solutions in the field of measurements applied to cultural heritage, among material scientists, chemists, physicists, engineers, archaeologists, conservators, restorers.
