Archaeological conservators

Archaeological conservators are specialists who preserve and restore artifacts from past cultures, ensuring they remain intact and comprehensible for future study. They carefully assess the condition of items like pottery, tools, or fragile organic materials, then use scientific techniques to stabilize and repair them without damaging their original features. Their work helps protect cultural heritage, allowing archaeologists and the public to learn from and appreciate historical objects. This process involves a combination of chemistry, art, and science to maintain the integrity and authenticity of artifacts over time.
