Conservation of Metals from Marine Archaeological Sites

Abstract: With any metal, we will take the preliminary steps of documentation, pre-treatment storage, mechanical cleaning, and evaluation. Then the treatment shall be implemented, followed by the rinsing, drying, sealing, storage, and occasional inspection of the artifact. Some of the methods for treatment include: galvanic cleaning, electrolytic reduction, and chemical rinses and treatments. The conservation treatments specific to iron, non-ferrous metals, cupreous metals, silver, lead, and tin will be covered. While this paper focuses on the conservation of archaeological metals recovered from marine environments, it should be noted that any of the methods of conservation mentioned can be used on metals recovered from terrestrial environments as well.
