Investigații non-invazive aplicate textilelor arheologice de la Mănăstirea Căpriana
Non-invasive investigations applied to archaeological textiles from the Căpriana Monastery

Summary/Abstract: Scientific research using modern means is essential for a proper evolution of the conservation-restoration process. The aim of scientific investigations is to know the structure of the object, its state of conservation, to identify the nature of the composing materials, the corrosion products, the biological degradations. The advanced research technique, available also in the field of cultural heritage's conservation and restoration, enables nowadays its thorough investigation in terms of physical and chemical features. The results of visual examination, carried out with unaided eye or magnifying optical instruments, and of physical and chemical analyses, performed using non-invasive modern techniques, are extremely useful to the restorer for establishing the object's state of conservation and for choosing the appropriate conservation-restoration methodology. The paper discusses several non-invasive investigation methods applied to the liturgical textiles from the crypt of Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni. The obtained results complemented the stylistic expertises and ensured the accuracy of the restoration-conservation interventions.
