Scientific Research

An introduction to Scientific Research will look at how the opening of the World Conservation and Exhibition Centre (WCEC) in 2014 has provided an opportunity for the organisation to become an internationally recognised centre for scientific research by capitalising on the resources and collections which make it unique.

Most recently, the Department of Science has focused its research in a number of key areas including, new approaches to organic artefacts and residues, research looking at ancient human health, diet and life histories, ancient materials and technologies and finally preserving and protecting the past.
