Coade Stone: A History and Analysis

Howell Edwards is Professor Emeritus of Molecular Spectroscopy at the University of Bradford. He read Chemistry at Jesus College in the University of Oxford and after completing his B.A. and B.Sc. degrees he studied for his doctorate in Raman spectroscopy at Oxford with Dr Leonard Woodward and then became a Research Fellow at Jesus College, University of Cambridge. He joined the University of Bradford as a Lecturer in Structural and Inorganic Chemistry, becoming Head of the Department of Chemical and Forensic Sciences, and was awarded a Personal Chair in Molecular Spectroscopy in 1996. He has received several international awards (Sir Harold Thompson Award;

Charles Mann Award; Emanuel Boricky Medal; Norman Sheppard Award) in a spectroscopic career which has resulted in the publication of over 1350 research papers in Raman spectroscopy and the characterisation of materials, along with six books on the application of this analytical technique to art, archaeology and forensic science. He has had a lifelong interest in porcelains and the industrial archaeology, excavation and the preservation of early porcelain manufactory sites, many of which have now disappeared in urban expansion .He has authored six major books on porcelains and has also produced several monographs on the manufactories at Swansea and Nantgarw and the people associated with them. Howell Edwards is Honorary Scientific Adviser to the de Brecy Trust on the scientific evaluation of their artworks and paintings.

Christopher J. Brooke studied for a BSc (Hons.) in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Bradford, specializing in geophysics, environmental archaeology, and palaeopathology, followed by a PhD at the University of Nottingham in the field of archaeological remote sensing for historic buildings analysis. He has worked in a wide range of organizations from central and local government, through university teaching appointments and industry, a major charity, and freelance consultancy. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, an Associate Fellow of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society, and a member of many professional organizations both nationally and in the U.K. East Midlands, he serves on a large number of advisory boards and committees. Dr Brooke's principal research specializations are in electromagnetic remote sensing, nondestructive archeological site survey, record photography, mathematical image processing, environmental study, spectroscopy, the history and archaeology of churches, and the recording and conservation of historic buildings. He has lectured extensively at academic institutions throughout the

U.K. and is currently Honorary Associate Professor in Medieval History and Church Archaeology at the University of Nottingham, and Visiting Fellow in Remote Sensing at Nottingham Trent University.

霍威爾·愛德華茲（Howell Edwards）是布拉德福德大學分子光譜學名譽教授。他在牛津大學的耶穌學院學習化學，並在完成文學士和理學士學位後，於牛津大學在倫納德·伍德沃德博士的指導下攻讀拉曼光譜學博士學位，隨後成為劍橋大學耶穌學院的研究員。他以結構和無機化學講師的身份加入布拉德福德大學，並成為化學與法醫科學系的系主任，於1996年獲得分子光譜學的個人講座。他在光譜學領域獲得了多項國際獎項（哈羅德·湯普森爵士獎；查爾斯·曼獎；伊曼紐爾·博里基獎；諾曼·謝潑德獎），並發表了超過1350篇有關拉曼光譜學和材料特徵化的研究論文，以及六本關於這一分析技術在藝術、考古學和法醫科學應用的書籍。他對瓷器及工業考古學、早期瓷器製造地點的挖掘和保存有著終身的興趣，許多這些地點如今因城市擴張而消失。他撰寫了六本關於瓷器的主要著作，並且還製作了幾本關於斯旺西和南加爾的製造廠及其相關人物的專著。霍威爾·愛德華茲是德布雷西信託的榮譽科學顧問，負責對其藝術作品和畫作進行科學評估。

克里斯托弗·J·布魯克（Christopher J. Brooke）在布拉德福德大學攻讀考古科學的理學士（榮譽）學位，專攻地球物理學、環境考古學和古病理學，隨後在諾丁漢大學獲得考古遙感技術在歷史建築分析領域的博士學位。他曾在多個機構工作，包括中央和地方政府、大學教學職位、工業、大型慈善機構以及自由顧問。作為古物學會的會員、皇家歷史學會的會員、遙感與攝影測量學會的副會員，以及英國東米德蘭地區和全國多個專業組織的成員，他在許多諮詢委員會和委員會中任職。布魯克博士的主要研究專長包括電磁遙感、無損考古遺址調查、記錄攝影、數學影像處理、環境研究、光譜學、教堂的歷史與考古學，以及歷史建築的記錄與保護。他在英國各大學機構廣泛講授，並目前擔任諾丁漢大學中世紀歷史與教堂考古學的榮譽副教授，以及諾丁漢特倫特大學的遙感訪問研究員。
