Fiskerton, Lincolnshire: Fiskerton Conservation Management Analysis of Modern Copper Samples Buried for 6, 12, 18 and 30 months
Author(s): Karla Graham, Jim Williams
The Fiskerton conservation management project was set up to advise English Heritage and the Environment Agency on the current condition of the archaeological site at Fiskerton and the impact on buried archaeological materials of re-watering the site. A range of modern analogue materials were buried at the site for periods of 6, 12, 18 and 30 months to assess the types and rates of deterioration before and after re-watering. A programme of burial environment monitoring was also undertaken. This report covers the analysis of the 6, 12, 18 and 30 month copper samples and consideration of the burial environment monitoring data available. The appendices form the site archive for the copper samples.
