| Abstract | ||
| The research paper discusses the technique of applying cleaning materials to wooden artifacts and compares them in light of evaluating the results. It also emphasizes the importance of preserving wooden archaeological objects as an integral part of human heritage, carrying important messages. As conservators, we must maintain and protect them. The application of materials to wood as a support for imaging was examined on wooden artifact number 42 in the museum storage records in Al-Qurna, which is made of sycamore wood. The study includes identifying the applied color layers (red, yellow, black) on the wood. From it, the problems of surface damage to the monument during the years of burial were monitored, or extracted from excavations, in addition to the problems resulting from the storage of those holdings between crusts, color fading, and dust, and on this basis, the examination was carried out using the infrared spectrometer FTIR, and from it the functional groups of wood were identified and the natural degrees of change that occurred to the wood were monitored, and the analysis by X-ray diffraction XRD, where the colors and color medium (gum arabic and animal glue) were identified, and then after studying Current status of selected pieces Manifestations of damage were treated with three different cleaning compresses after evaluating those compresses and determining the conditions of each mixture for use on those wooden collectibles. Compresses consist of (ethyl alcohol + acetone + water, Deck 1000 + water, Deck 1000 + ethyl alcohol + water). | ||
