CONSERVATION OF A MOSAIC FROM ALDBOROUGH IN NORTH YORKSHIRE

Author(s): A Cselik

A brief history of a late third- or early fourth-century mosaic, with a Greek inscription, is given. The results of analyses, including those of stone and glass tesserae, are presented. As the mosaic was in three sections, two of which had been backed in cement and concrete, the conservation treatment centres on methods for the removal of the old backing, rejoining of the three sections, and the application of a new backing.
