- Abstract
Many artefacts in archaeological sites and on display are not only of historical interest but have the potential to reveal much about the manufacturing and artistic trends of earlier times. To recover artefacts requires more than merely picking them up, if it is desired to retain their surface features and physical characteristics for future generations. On-site conservation, storage and laboratory conservation are all important and the procedures used for the more common materials are outlined in this paper.
