Abstract: | The information that can be retrieved from the study of ancient materials and studies on their conservation rely strongly
on the development and application of new techniques of physical analysis. This is particularly important at a time when global
changes affecting our environment and way of life impose new stresses putting heritage preservation at risk. For this purpose,
synchrotron techniques are particularly suited to the non- (or micro-) destructive characterisation of such heterogeneous
materials, and a steep increase in the number of publications has been noticed recently from cultural heritage works using
synchrotron radiation.
In 2004, an interface dedicated to archaeology and cultural heritage was launched at the SOLEIL synchrotron to allow researchers
from the international scientific community to be granted specific expertise. This interface aims at easing the access of
researchers to the synchrotron, facilitating contacts, providing technical support and informing the community. The very first
applications of SOLEIL beamlines in the heritage field are illustrated through works recently carried out at the first beamline
of SOLEIL, LUCIA, currently located at the Swiss Light Source (SLS). The setup of the beamline is succinctly described.
