Abstract

Pulsed thermography was exploited to identify the presence of glass defects in order to get an indication of the conservation status of archaeological glass. Indeed, the process of degradation in artifacts subjected to centuries of burial can be of great relevance. More specifically, we evaluated the potential of pulsed thermography to map the presence of flakes in archaeological glass. This was achieved by comparing different heating setups and signal-processing algorithms. Tests were carried out previously on glass mockups with surface defects and then on archaeological artifacts.
