Curso-taller \”La conservación de hierro y aleaciones de cobre arqueológico de procedencia subacuática\”
Workshop on “The Conservation of Iron and Copper Alloys from Archaeological Sites of Underwater Origin”
You can now register for ther course-workshop “The conservation of iron and archaeological copper alloys of underwater origin” that will be held from November 24 to 26 at the Center for Underwater Archaeology organized by the Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico – IAPH in collaboration with the Spanish @Grupo of Conservation of the International Institute for Conservation.
Iron and copper alloys are part of the group of metals most common in underwater archaeological sites. They can be found on a wide variety of objects, from small nails that are part of attachment systems to large artillery elements, such as cannons. The conservation of these elements represents a challenge due to the alterations they undergo during their stay in the aquatic environment. Knowing the mechanisms of alteration is essential to propose a conservation methodology in the short and long term. The objective of this course is to present, in a theoretical-practical way, the main conservation measures required by these objects from their extraction to the completion of their treatment in the laboratory.
Coordinated by Elisa Fernández Tudela, Head of the CAS Conservation Department, it has among its teachers: María Auxiliadora Gómez Morón and María López Rey (IAPH); Luis Carlos Zambrano Valdivia (Museum of Cádiz); Manuel Bethencourt Núñez (University of Cádiz); and Cristina San Martín Bel, Restorer.
Pre-enrolment until 2 November 2025
