The newly integrated conservation laboratory offers practical applications for stabilising and preserving heritage materials.

Supporting the Department of Archaeology’s diverse collections and those from our professional partners, this is a versatile space adaptable for individual projects or large quantities of materials. 

Located in PalaeoHub, students and researchers have access to a range of equipment and materials to facilitate the care and protection of artefacts, led by accredited conservation staff, including:

  • Small hand tools for micro-excavating and cleaning artefacts
  • Dremel Rotary Tools
  • Conservation grade polymers for stabilising and refitting heritage materials
