Conservation of artifacts is the need of the hour but equally important is its scientific study to understand better the materials used to make artifacts, their decay process, their method of making, by recording their present state of preservation through scientific photography using combination of visible lighting procedures besides using invisible radiations such as U.V., IR and X-rays to record even what is not seen by the naked eye. Various components of an artifact can be analyzed and identified by using Conventional methods of analysis or instrumental analytical techniques especially the nondestructive techniques using latest strides made by Science & Technology over the last century. This would enhance our knowledge about the bygone days which would help mankind to know their ancestors better.
