The Conservation of Archaeological Terracottas from Roccagloriosa
Conservation of a group of ancient terracotta figurines recovered from an intact votive deposit is described. Following an analysis of the original fabrication techniques, methods for the cleaning, repair and consolidation of the figurines are discussed. Information revealed by treatment in the field has permitted the figurines to be dated accurately and, in addition, has assisted in the interpretation of religious practices at the Lucanian site of Roccagloriosa.
