Conservation Procedures on Selected Ceramic and Metal Artifacts Stored in Exploration and Excavation Branch, Karachi: A Note.

Abstract

Preventive measures and methods to conserve artefacts of iron and terracotta have remarkably improved compared to the past. Every adopted method should have a reversible method also using a more comprehensive range of materials and techniques. Following this methodological approach, this note presents a selection of the conservation treatments applied to metal and ceramic objects stored at the Excavation and Exploration Branch in Karachi before they were moved to the new Museum.
