Eleven water-logged wood samples from the Ozette site, Washington state, were given to the British Columbia Provincial Museum Conservation Laboratory to determine whether the samples could be conserved by a freeze-drying treatment. Each sample was divided into three parts for the treatment: freeze-drying, PEG pre-treatment/freeze-drying, control. Analysis of the samples was undertaken before treatment to determine whether the analyses could be used to predict the success of the treatment. In most cases, it was possible to predict the response of the samples. The most significant finding was that inherent dimensional instability due to anomalous growth could not be overcome by the treatment. (See also AATA 18-1253 and AATA 21-410)
