Southwest Scottish Crannogs: using in situ studies to assess preservation in wetland archaeological contexts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of in situ monitoring of waterlogged burial contexts in southwest Scotland, including five Iron Age crannogs (lake dwellings) which are being assessed as part of a national program of study by the SWAP team.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of pyrolysis-GC–MS molecular fingerprint as a proxy of Modern Age Iberian shipwreck wood preservation
TL;DR: In this paper, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on pyrolysis data of sound woods and shipwreck woods of Pinus sp. and Quercus sp., to identify the impact of diagenesis on pyrotelysis fingerprints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable wood coatings made of epoxidized vegetable oils for ultraviolet protection
TL;DR: In this article, a review of wood photodegradation and protective coatings made of vegetable oils and epoxy resins is presented, which solve the common incompatibility of wood surface and coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Analysing Waterlogged Wooden Artefacts and Environmental Conditions when Considering their In Situ Preservation
David Gregory,Poul Jensen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of analysing the state of preservation of waterlogged wooden artefacts as part of the in situ monitoring program at the Iron Age site of Nydam is discussed.

The in situ preservation of archaeological remains: using lysimeters to assess the impacts of saturation and seasonality
Malcolm Lillie,Robert Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of seasonal variability on waterlogged burial environments were studied using controlled laboratory conditions via lysimeters, which enabled new insights into the nature of short term fluctuations in saturation, and the impact that these can have on burial contexts.
