AiA Authentication in Art 2016 Awardhttp://authenticationinart.org/congress-2016/aia-award-2016/
Authentication in Art award was presented to Laura Hendriks and her PhD project Microscale radiocarbon dating based at the Ion Beam Physics Group of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) under supervision of Dr Irka Hajdas and in collaboration with Prof. Ester Ferreira at TH Köln and Markus Küffner at SIK-ISEA, Zürich. This project aims to; on the one hand, minimize the sample size and therefore the invasiveness of radiocarbon dating analysis and on the other hand to expand the application of the method to pigments and organic binders.
