ABSTRACT

Heritage science is an interdisciplinary field and successful heritage science research by necessity involves interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds and professional experience. Successful interdisciplinary research is challenging, and many issues have been identified both within and outside heritage science. However, within heritage science there has never been an attempt to do an in-depth study of how communication in interdisciplinary research works in practice. This paper aims to address this gap by providing an in-depth exploration of a case study. We present the analysis of the transcribed recording of a five-hour workshop and follow-up interviews with the workshop participants that took place within the framework of a collaborative heritage science research project. The analysis looks in detail at the dynamics of communication in the context of this meeting, identifying the main topics of conversation and the nature of the transitions between them. We discuss the way in which researchers use different physical scales when thinking about heritage material degradation. We identify key features of interdisciplinary research such as the sense of community and the use of language. Recommendations and insights for future practice are presented.

摘要

遗产科学是一个跨学科领域，成功的遗产科学研究必然涉及具有不同学科背景和专业经验的研究人员之间的跨学科合作。成功的跨学科研究具有挑战性，许多问题已经在遗产科学内部和外部发现。然而，在遗产科学中，从未尝试深入研究跨学科研究中的交流如何在实践中发挥作用。本文旨在通过对案例研究的深入探索来解决这一差距。我们介绍了对在合作遗产科学研究项目框架内进行的一个 5 小时研讨会的转录记录以及对研讨会参与者的后续采访的分析。该分析详细研究了本次会议背景下的沟通动态，确定了对话的主要主题以及它们之间转换的性质。我们讨论了研究人员在考虑遗产材料退化时使用不同物理尺度的方式。我们确定了跨学科研究的关键特征，例如社区意识和语言的使用。提出了对未来实践的建议和见解。我们确定了跨学科研究的关键特征，例如社区意识和语言的使用。提出了对未来实践的建议和见解。我们确定了跨学科研究的关键特征，例如社区意识和语言的使用。提出了对未来实践的建议和见解。
