After the success of last year, the initiative of the Italian Association of Archaeometry (AIAr), Arte e(‘) Scienza, is back!

Also this year AIAr in collaboration with CHNet, CNR and the Universities organizes a series of guided tours, seminars and meetings: in museums or archaeological sites the researchers will show the utility of applying scientific methodologies to the diagnostic and promotion of cultural heritage.
