Restoration and Conservation Works
The conservation of an artefact involves the careful examination of three phases: The first phase includes the period that the object was produced and in use. The second phase is the period that the object gains historical value by remaining buried in ground or underwater. The third and last phase covers taking the object out of it’s the context and the process of endless restoration and conservation work which should be started by scientists.
