The information contained in these pages is not intended to replace the Conservator in the archaeological process - all projects should have prearranged access to a professionally trained Conservator. Similarly, the information contained in this document may not be suitable for all archaeological sites or environments; the content is based upon the unique history and remains associated with 18th-20th century Australian sites. Finally no document can address every issue encountered on an excavation. You should always consult a Conservator if you are unsure about the condition of remains, or artefacts, or the treatment you undertake.
