Abstract
The conventional perception of heritage conservators’ knowledge has primarily focused on their explicit knowledge rooted between science and humanities. However, this perspective on their knowledge is imprecise and often overlooks other intangible dimensions, particularly their accumulated practical (hands-on) tacit knowledge, which extends beyond the traditional view and is often reduced to a mere skill. This comment/perspective article challenges this traditional view and aims to explore the significance of this ineffable knowledge and the possible implications of repetitive practical sensorimotor motions on the conservator's brain, embodied cognition, intuition, and decision-making. This new vision aims to reflect on how we understand the scope of knowledge of worldwide heritage conservators and to open new doors for research and interdisciplinary collaborations.
期刊介绍：
Heritage Science is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research covering:
Understanding of the manufacturing processes, provenances, and environmental contexts of material types, objects, and buildings, of cultural significance including their historical significance.
Understanding and prediction of physico-chemical and biological degradation processes of cultural artefacts, including climate change, and predictive heritage studies.
Development and application of analytical and imaging methods or equipments for non-invasive, non-destructive or portable analysis of artwork and objects of cultural significance to identify component materials, degradation products and deterioration markers.
Development and application of invasive and destructive methods for understanding the provenance of objects of cultural significance.
Development and critical assessment of treatment materials and methods for artwork and objects of cultural significance.
Development and application of statistical methods and algorithms for data analysis to further understanding of culturally significant objects.
Publication of reference and corpus datasets as supplementary information to the statistical and analytical studies above.
Description of novel technologies that can assist in the understanding of cultural heritage.
