Armed conflict impacts on the microscale

Mol, Lisa

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Armed conflict has left noticeable marks on our heritage, and has increasingly become a target in itself despite protective legislature such as the 1950 The Hague convention. Both built heritage and stone objects are partially destroyed through the impact of projectiles such as bullets and shrapnel. This study investigates alterations to the fabric of sandstone, a commonly used material for building and sculptures, upon impact using a combination of microscopy and SEM-EDX.
