Editorial Reviews

Review

. . . the result of nearly half a working lifetime spent teaching archaeological conservation . . . it will become essential reading for students of conservation . . . as a mine of information it succeeds admirably, and no archaeological conservator can afford to be without it . . . it will be welcomed with open arms by a profession which is starved of text books.
–Minerva

As a textbook and guide to the problems, techniques and solutions in archaeological conservation this book is unrivalled.
–The International Journal of Nautical Archaeology and Underwater Exploration
