Conservation of a Bronze Age Trevisker Urn. The challenges of conserving a large and fragile ceramic vessel. (April 2023)
In this online presentation, Kate Berlewen (archaeological and museum conservator) and Sarah Klopf ACR (senior conservator) at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM), and postgraduate student Mathilde Van Dalen shared their investigation and conservation approach to this archaeologically significant find.
The urn was cleaned and stabilised at the conservation labs of the RAMM in 2022 and is currently undergoing the process of deposition with RAMM. It was found remarkably intact, but its size posed challenges during conservation due to the weight of the object and the extensive cracking within the body.
