Conservation in Marina el-Alamein in 2017 (Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission)
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The conservation program of the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission in Marina el-Alamein in 2017 included restoration of wall structures and architectural decoration elements damaged as a result of unfavorable climate conditions (Houses H9/H9a and H21, Rooms 10 and 11 in the Roman baths). Wall paintings exposed to weather conditions in situ were treated as part of another conservation project. Minor metal finds were also treated using both chemical and mechanical means in order to identify the objects.<br/><br/>
