Archaeological Conservation Lab

An Archaeological Conservation Lab is a specialized facility where artifacts discovered during archaeological digs are carefully preserved and analyzed. Experts in these labs work to prevent further deterioration of items made from materials like metal, glass, wood, or ceramics, which may have been buried for centuries. Using techniques such as cleaning, stabilization, and restoration, conservators ensure these objects are protected for study and display. The work done in these labs is crucial for understanding past cultures and societies, as it helps maintain the integrity and historical value of the artifacts for future generations.
