Decay prevention in waterlogged archaeological wood using gamma irradiation
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 1998Gamma irradiation is evaluated as a novel decay prevention treatment for waterlogged archaeological wood. A dose of 15 kGy was found to be sufficient to inactivate a large number of wood biodeteriogens, including fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, at various stages of development. For timbers excavated from polluted sites, a dose of 25 kGy is suggested

Study of Fe(II) sulphides in waterlogged archaeological wood
Studies in Conservation, 2013AbstractWet organic archaeological materials extracted from seawater may suffer damage as a result of degradation influenced by micro-organisms. One of the most common phenomena is indirectly induced by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Due to their metabolic activity in anoxic conditions, SRB generate hydrogen sulphide from sulphate ions present in ...

Observations on Microbial Growth during Conservation Treatment of Waterlogged Archaeological Wood
Studies in Conservation, 2001AbstractDuring conservation treatment of simulated archaeological wood, multicoloured microbial colonization and slime layers developed at the liquid/air interface after seven months of impregnation in PEG (polyethylene glycol). This microbial growth, leaving behind a foul odour, is a major problem for wood conservation worldwide.

Evaluation of Conservation Treatments for Archaeological Waterlogged Wooden Artefacts
2008In favourable conditions of low temperature and low oxygen concentration, waterlogged wooden artefacts, such as shipwrecks, can survive underwater in relative good condition. Nevertheless, as a result of the action of water and anaerobic bacteria on the cellulose and hemicellulose of the cell walls, the waterlogged wood is very fragile and its ...
