Abstract
Several case studies are described of the restoration of dried-up wooden archaeological finds showing deformations due to shrinkage, collapse, and mechanical damage. Such objects can be waterlogged again, the wood plasticized and reshaped, shrinkage swollen again, and the corrected, wet objects stabilized with well- established methods of waterlogged wood conservation. -- CAL
