Essential Oils as Alternative Biocides for the Preservation of Waterlogged Archaeological Wood [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Waterlogged archaeological wood is exposed to a high risk of biological degradation during the post-excavation phases of storage and restoration. For this reason, often biocides must be used to preserve wooden remains. In the present work three essential

Cellulose and Lignin Nano-Scale Consolidants for Waterlogged Archaeological Wood [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2020 Waterlogged archaeological wood comes from submerged archaeological sites (in lake, sea, river, or wetland) or from land waterlogged sites. Even if the wooden object seems to have maintained the original size and shape, the wood is more or less severely ...

In situ polymerisation of isoeugenol as a green consolidation method for waterlogged archaeological wood. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Waterlogged archaeological wood is often in need of consolidation prior to drying to prevent shrinkage and cracking of the object. There is a need for new greener materials (than for example polyethylene glycol) and methods for consolidation to be ...
