> Dear all,
>
> It is my first time posting here, I hope someone could help me.
>
> I am working on neolithic malacofauna materials unearthed from an
> archaeological site placed in a cave near Barcelona. Other materials are
> not in a bad conservation state, but seashells are suffering a lot of
> damage of their physical integrity, presenting in some cases a butter
> consistency.
>
> We know the cause, but I haven't found anything about treatments and
> conservation. I am cleaning and removing the soil at the same time I use a
> consolidant to avoid the complete destruction of shells. Have any of you
> ever worked with these difficulties or know any useful bibliography about
> conservation treatments of archaeological malaco materials?
> Any help will be very appreciated.
>
> Thank you so much and have a nice day,
>
