Why is it important?

The editorial include a brief explanation of the most innovative aspects of each contributed paper, highlighting the possibilities of Raman Spectroscopy to study very complex and different aspects around the characterisation, diagnose and conservation of artworks and archaeological remains

Perspectives

The content of the paper can be considered a quick guide to current and past, through the exhaustive reference list, applications of Raman Spectroscopy in this complex field of Artworks and archaeological remains, not only on the characterisation step but, more important, as a valuable tool in the diagnosing process before to start a restoration action.
