The Second Day (September, 24)

In the second day, the lectures is more like the nature, recovery and conservation techniques of metals material (ferrous and non-ferrous) of underwater archaeological objects. This kind of materials also can be found in Indonesia, especially from the remains of WW II. The treatment for small but significant finds from metals material that had been thought here is greatly applicable and helpful, especially for deciding the right treatment for a numbers of Indonesian archaeological objects that came from WW II remains.

One of many other things that i appreciate from this program is not only on-site conservation on underwater, but also the terrestrial one of maritime archaeology research. In my opinion this is make sense, because sometimes in some cases the shore line now is more in inland area and direction, so the chance of finding archaeological remains from a boat or ship in an area before the shore line could be understood. The other interesting example but in different context that given is the survivor sites of Zuytdorp (1712) wrecked.
