Studies in Archaeological Conservation
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-35843-3 (ISBN)
Archaeological excavations produce thousands of corroded and degraded fragments of metal, ceramic, and organic material that are transformed by archaeological conservators into the beautiful and informative objects that fill the cases of museums. The knowledge and expertise required to undertake this transformation is demonstrated within this book in a series of 26 fascinating case studies in archaeological conservation and artefact investigation, undertaken in laboratories around the world. These case studies are contextualised by a detailed introductory chapter, which explores the challenges presented by researching and conserving archaeological artefacts and details how the case studies illustrate the current state of the subject.
Studies in Archaeological Conservation is the first book for over a quarter of a century to show the range and diversity of archaeological conservation, in this case through a series of case studies. As a result, the book will be of great interest to practising conservators, conservation students, and archaeologists around the world.
Chris Caple is Emeritus Reader in Conservation in the Department of Archaeology at Durham University, UK. Vicky Garlick is an Assistant Teaching Fellow and Conservator in the Department of Archaeology at Durham University, UK.
