Once archaeological iron artifacts are excavated their protective environment is lost. On exposure to the air the objects can dry out and the earthy as well as the corrosion layers become permeable due to the formation of cracks and fissures. Moisture from the air and oxygen get access to the objects. If chlorides are present in the corrosion layers and metallic iron remains in the artifact,...

This Bachelor thesis presents the conception of a packing design for the storage and the transport of seven large archaeological clay pots. The pots and the risks of a transport were first examined. The major risks of a transport are the physical forces, which have a great influence on the preservation of ceramics. Shocks, abrasion, vibration and pressure are the main force-related effects. The...
