Program Overview

School of Humanities Heritage Science Program (Postgraduate)

Heritage Science Lab & Labs at E-JUST

The Heritage Science Laboratory and other labs at E-JUST are open to all students enrolled in various specializations, including Archaeological Excavation, Heritage Conservation Science, Museum Management, and Cultural Heritage Studies, within the postgraduate Heritage Science program.

The Heritage Science Laboratory and other facilities at E-JUST focus on the scientific documentation, analysis, and preservation of both organic and inorganic materials. The laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instruments and tools that enable researchers to study the composition, structure, and deterioration mechanisms of these materials, as well as assess the materials used in conservation processes.

The laboratories use a multidisciplinary approach, combining techniques from chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science to study and understand heritage objects. Researchers employ non-destructive and non-invasive methods whenever possible to analyze the materials without causing damage.

Primary Goals of the Heritage Science Laboratory

1. Support research and education across various heritage science majors (Archaeological Excavation, Heritage Conservation Science, Museum Management, Cultural Heritage Studies).
2. Collaborate with other faculties at E-JUST in heritage science and related interdisciplinary fields.
3. Provide scientific assistance to cultural heritage institutions, museums, and conservation projects.
4. Develop conservation and restoration strategies to preserve objects for future generations.
