Tracing Willem Kick:A Collaborative Journey in Reconstructing Seventeenth-Century Imitation Lacquer
No full textAs there is often a tendency for the knowledge of surface perception and material processes to become lost amidst written art historical sources and analytical results, joining the expertise of art history and art conservation proved invaluable in the interpretation of the appreciation of the lacquer caskets of Willem Kick (1579-1647). A reconstruction gave valuable insights into art-technological processes and shed further light on Kick’s workshop practice, bringing us closer to understanding the original state and appreciation of his works and of the objects now on display in the Rijksmuseum

Assessing the consequences of recent climate change on World Heritage sites in South Greenland
No full textIn the Arctic region, microbial degradation poses a significant threat to the preservation of archaeological deposits, actively consuming irreplaceable cultural and environmental records. In this study we assess the potential effects of the last 40 years of climate change on organic archaeological deposits within the UNESCO World Heritage area Kujataa in South Greenland. We use the dynamic process-oriented model, CoupModel to simulate soil temperatures and soil moisture contents at four archaeological sites in the area. The results show that the organic deposits have experienced a substantial warming the last 40 years, which combined with decreasing soil moisture contents creates a dangerous combination that can accelerate the degradation of organic materials. Currently, there are 583 archaeological sites registered within the area. Our findings highlight that the current climatic conditions are not conducive to organic preservation. The greatest risk of degradation lies within the relatively dry continental inland areas of the study region, where all Norse Viking Age settlements are situated. However, even at the "cold" and "wet" outer coast, the combined effects of rising summer temperatures and declining soil moisture levels may already be exerting a noticeable impact
