Core offering

Re.S.Artes is a private scientific laboratory dedicated to the analysis of art objects, cultural heritage, and archaeological artifacts, providing dating, characterization, and imaging analysis services. Core offerings include Carbon-14 and Thermoluminescence/OSL dating, material characterization via LIBS, ICP-MS, PIXE, infrared/Raman spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction, as well as non-destructive scientific imaging (UV, infrared reflectography, X-ray). Services are delivered at the Bordeaux laboratory and on-site at museums, archaeological sites, and art fairs using portable equipment.

Product overview

Re.S.Artes is a scientific laboratory dedicated to the analysis of art objects, cultural heritage, and archaeological artifacts. The company operates as a service-based laboratory rather than a software product platform. Its core offerings are organized into three main service categories: (1) Dating services using Carbon 14, Thermoluminescence/OSL, Helium, and Lead 210 methods; (2) Characterization services using microscopy and microanalysis, LIBS, ICP-MS, PIXE, infrared spectrometry, Raman spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction; and (3) Scientific imaging services using white light, UV, infrared reflectography, and X-ray radiography. The laboratory specializes in analyzing various materials including organic materials, metals (precious and non-precious), terracotta, stones and minerals, paintings, and vitreous materials. Services are delivered by two PhD scientists in Physics of Archaeomaterials with over 25 years of experience.
