Description
IPANEMA, the research platform for ancient materials located in Paris-Saclay, is a centre for the development of advanced methodologies of material characterization in archaeology, past environments, paleontology and cultural heritage, and the support of synchrotron research through external users hosted on the platform. IPANEMA develops and provides a set of techniques for preparing specimens, to study artifacts and samples, and statistically analyze collected datasets.
For the last ten years, several initiatives and research projects were carried out with teams from several African countries. Results regarding the analysis of rock art samples, characterisation of palaeontological specimens, and study of archival documents will be presented. Perspectives of advanced partnership within the European research infrastructure for Heritage science will be discussed.
