PART 1.5 - CORE CONCEPTS
Summary and quiz
Radiographs are not like photographs.
You cannot see the surface or 'side' of an object or specimen.
Instead, you see all the densities of the object superimposed together (i.e. the direction of the X-rays).
X-ray imaging can be applied upon a multitude of different archaeological materials. The non-destructive and non-invasive manner of radiography makes it an invaluable tool for archaeologists, conservators and associated professions.
End of Part 1 - Core Concepts
The next part of this course is Part 2 - Image Brightness and Contrast.
Within the next part of the course you will learn the relationship between specimen density and grayscale upon a radiograph.
You are free to revisit any part of the course at any time.
Remember, you have six months to complete this course and it should take approximately 4 hours overall. You can still access all of the webpages after requesting your completion certificate.
