| description | International museums in general, and the Cairo Egyptian Museum are rich in many antiquities, which represent the legacy of the past, which must be passed on to future generations. The museum is an educational and recreational institution, which works to serve society by preserving and presenting the antiquities in interesting and fun ways.Scientific documentation is the most important step to start with when conserving any object. Scientific examinations and analyzes using modern scientific equipments are also considered among the necessary examinations that must be carried out before setting up a treatment program for antiquities, as it plays a major role in identifying the materials that make up the object and causes of deterioration, and thus in choosing the appropriate materials for treatment. This research aims to identify and present modern scientific methods for documenting, examining and analyzing museum objects in general, and archaeological textiles and carpets in particular, with practical applications for that on some artefacts.Among the modern methods of documenting museum artefacts, documentation using software like Auto CAD & Adobe illustrator, X-ray Radiography, infrared IR, UV detections, and 3D laser scanner. The most important methods of examination and analysis of museum collections in general, textiles and carpets in particular, various types of microscopes such as optical, polarizing, (UV-Vis) and Scanning Electron (SEM) microscopy, X-ray fluorescence, Atomic absorption, Raman, Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which is an accurate method for identifying the organic dyes in ancient textiles and carpets. |
