Preventive care, research, and restoration of cultural heritage objects requires multidisciplinary research and the involvement of experts of different profiles, using high technology equipment. Nondestructive methods dominate in the diagnosis of the situation and protection of cultural heritage objects. The application of lasers has opened many possibilities for research in the field of protection, conservation, restoration, and/or assessment of artifacts. We present the results of the interaction of ruby-laser light with the surfaces of Neolithic ceramics (Obrenovac, Serbia) and samples of copper of unknown age. The investigation was conducted in order to determine the maximum energy density of the laser light that can be applied in nondestructive testing and encrustation cleaning of these ceramic and metal cultural heritage objects. We investigate the laser-light interactions using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersal unit for the analysis of X-rays (EDX).
