. Depending on the nature of the cultural heritage, its cultural context, and its evolution through
time, authenticity judgements may be linked to the worth of a great variety of sources of information. Aspects of the sources may include form and design, materials and substance, use
and function, traditions and techniques, location and setting, and spirit and feeling, and other
internal and external factors. The use of these sources permits elaboration of the specific artistic,
historic, social, and scientific dimensions of the cultural heritage being examined.
