Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Conservation treatments are\noptimally informed by consideration of all options and materials, with time\ndedicated to research, analysis and testing, and performed with the benefit of\nan adequate budget and time frame that allows for a careful treatment. In\npractice, treatment decisions are often crucially shaped by other factors,\nincluding the availability and accessibility of materials and equipment, the\nexperience and treatment habits of the conservator, budget constraints, time\navailable for research and testing, treatment deadlines, and the needs of or\nrequests from invested parties. This article discusses the treatment of a\nseventh century BCE clay cuneiform tablet that was conserved at several\ndifferent venues over five field seasons at the Tayinat Archaeological Project\nin Turkey. It focusses on treatment decision-making in response to limited\nresources, deadlines, and research and display needs, with the intent of adding\nto the growing body of conservation literature that investigates how\nconservators problem-solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By Julie Unruh and Cricket Harbeck Reposted from Journal of the Institute of Conservation, Vol. 44, No. 1, 2021 Abstract Conservation treatments are optimally informed by consideration of all options and materials, with time dedicated to research, analysis and testing, and performed with the benefit of an adequate budget and time frame that allows for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":218,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-206","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=206"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206\/revisions\/217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Journal-of-the-Insittute-of-Conservation-720x1024.jpeg\")
