June 17th and 18th

We began our conservation work with the Mont'e Prama fragments. We split into our groups for documentating, labeling, mapping, and dry cleaning new boxes of limestone fragments. For documentation and mapping we noted any noticeable features or damage and attempted to determine the typography of the the piece. It could fit into any of the following four typographies: boxer, warrior, archer, or a nuraghe tower. We labeled each fragment with its corresponding number and cleaned them using scalpels and brushes. We were even lucky enough to find a match between one of the leg fragments we cleaned and the new boxer that was recently uncovered. The most exciting part of our day, however, was Roberto's return from Oslo and his lecture in Rome.
