CONSERVATION OF THE CARLISLE ROMAN WRITING TABLETS

Author(s): J Jones

Excavations in Carlisle produced many waterlogged Roman stylus and ink writing tablet fragments. The stylus tablets were initially treated using the IMS/ether/resin method, and later with a PEG pre-treatment, followed by freeze-drying. The ink fragments were treated using IMS/ether/resin. They were viewed using infra-red light to detect ink writing, and were photographed using infra-red film.
