ABSTRACT

Aim of this work is to identify a common path, common both for archaeologist and restorers or

chemists,startingfromtheexcavationandendinginlaboratorytomanagecorrectlyfinds.Forthispurpose,it

is necessary that all people working on the objects have a common knowledge on the nature of materials,

their composition and degradation. The familiarity with the composition of the archaeological materials, the

awareness of the interaction between the soils and the artefacts; the expertise on the consolidation and

conservation techniques are indispensable skills for preserving the objects. “Preservation” means

consolidate and restore the archaeological objects without the loss of the information derivable through

chemical-physical analysis. This paper explains how archaeologists and archaeometrists have worked

together in Torcello 2012 excavation, sharing methodologies and preparing specific conservation and

researchproject.
