- Description
- Textile finds occur in many different environments under a variety of conditions. Some guidelines are proposed for the following: the excavation process, documentation and storage of excavated material, and collection and storage of samples for scientific analysis. In the absence of an on-site specialist, 'preventive conservation' (provision of optimal conditions to inhibit deterioration and prevent damage) is encouraged.
