Conservation and Repair of Masonry Ruins
February 4-7, 2003
This course is primarily designed for those concerned
with the conservation of ruined structures, although the
principles and skills are also applicable to roofed buildings.
Material covered includes assessment of the structural and
surface condition of masonry walls, identification of
traditional
materials, fault diagnosis, removal and control of
organic growth, consolidation and treatment of wall tops,
specification of mortars and grouts and the preparation and placing

The Conservation of Archaeological Ceramics
February 9-14, 2003
This annual course forms part of the Postgraduate
Ceramic Conservation Diploma programme. The aim of this module
is to bring together those involved in or intending to work
in the care, interpretation and treatment of excavated
ceramics and to provide practical experience for conservators who wish
to learn new techniques or re-establish skills in an
archaeological context. Although primarily a workshop-based practical
course, we have adopted a comprehensive approach to
conservation that will comprise presentations from specialists and
practitioners including a ceramic specialist, conservation
scientist,
archaeologist and ceramic conservators.
The sharing of
the concerns and priorities of those concerned will
facilitate decision-making in the preservation of archaeological
ceramics.
The information will be communicated through a series
of demonstrations, lectures, conservation case histories
and practical sessions on examination, cleaning, bonding, gap-filling and retouching. Participants will also
have the opportunity to make and fire a simple pot at the Weald
and Downland Open Air Museum and visit the Archaeological
Unit, Southampton or Southampton University to study
archaeological ceramics in a specialised post-excavation unit.
