The materials and techniques used in this branch of conservation now are very different from those known about and used in the early 1960s when a truly scientific approach to conservation had yet to appear. The technology of waterlogged wood preservation has advanced enormously over the past five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archetype Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890953535639,"sku":"9781904982821","price":6171.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781904982821.webp?v=1781181833","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/conservation-of-archaeological-ships-and-boats-9781904982821","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
