conservation and archaeology: please help me! - moey - 9th October 2008
I'm currently doing a dissertation for my masters and would like some opinions please! I have copied in the link to a small survey I am doingâ¦itâs only ten questions (the first is just to state you agree with taking part) and will be completely anonymous. The first question asks for a name but this will not be considered as part of the surveyâ¦itâs only there because I need permission to use your views. There will be no way of identifying anyone from the results!
Basically it's about the journey the object takes from excavation to the museum from the viewpoint of conservation. I think the conservation process starts at the point of excavation but this is often not considered in literature. I also believe fieldwork staff need a bit more on the job training as even if you've been excavating for ten years every site can be different. The point of my dissertation is not to be negative about the relationship between units and museums but to compare the differences between the theory and the reality of developer pressure, bad weather, high staff turnover, storage space difficulties etc. Iâve worked in fieldwork and now for a museum and am just interested in how the whole process works!
So if people could fill in my very short survey you will have my undying gratitude! Feel free to pass the link on to any diggers or other fieldwork staff you may knowâ¦.
when ir efer to conservation i mean basic ways of excavating objects to ensure optimum preservation,
