Abstract: |
Two consolidants have been evaluated to consolidate the damp and fragile amber beads from the A/S graves at Barrow Clump, Wilts. The choices of solvents and consolidants have to be selected with consideration as they can cause irreversible damage to the amber; and Paraloid B67 in white spirit produced the best results. Primal WS 24 was also tested and produced fairly good results, but was more appropriate for consolidating wet beads that could not be dried first without damage. |
