Abstract:

Non-destructive techniques are nowadays prioritized to address research questions and conservation issues in Heritage Science. However, sampling is still an essential step to confirm the results of this preliminary non-invasive investigation. As it deals with unique heritage objects or sites, sampling requires balanced, objective and consistent discussion in a collaborative and transparent environment.

In 2019, the Icon Heritage Science Group released the Ethical Sampling guidance after a concerted effort that lasted for at least 2 years. This step filled an important information gap and offered a practical, flexible and adaptive tool to scientists, conservators, curators, stakeholder and other decision-makers. Starting from the steps that led to the Guidance and moving to its key-concepts, this lecture aims at offering an up-to-date overlook on the main steps for ethical sampling in Cultural Heritage.  The key points of the guidance will be highlighted, with practical examples on how to apply it.  Finally, the results of a worldwide 2023 survey will provide insights on the diffusion and current application of the Guidance, but also on common practices among professionals when they need to carry out sampling on artworks.
