ABSTRACT

The conservation of a bog body is complex and a challenge for all those involved. A substantial list of requirements needs to be pulled together by the conservator in designing an effective and appropriate conservation strategy for these rare and important finds. Past treatments have often been reactive and constrained by lack of research and testing. Bog body materials are not yet sufficiently characterized and the level of access for which we are designing conservation treatments has not been comprehensively anticipated. This paper examines some of the questions conservators will need answered before they can design more successful long-term strategies for the conservation of bog bodies, and makes an attempt to answer them. In doing so, it places in context past treatments and hopes to stimulate future research that may aid in improving the preservation of bog bodies for the future.

摘要

沼泽地的保护是复杂的，对所有相关人员都是一个挑战。保护者在为这些罕见而重要的发现物设计有效和适当的保护策略时，需要将大量的要求汇总在一起。由于缺乏研究和测试，过去的治疗方法常常是反应性的和受约束的。沼泽体的材料尚未充分表征，我们尚未设计出用于设计养护措施的通道。本文研究了一些保护者在设计更成功的长期保护尸体的策略之前需要回答的问题，并尝试回答这些问题。在这样做，
