Abstract

TECTONIC project promotes a collaboration among several professionals (i.e. archaeologists, conservator, geologists, engineers, etc.) working on different topics related to the Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH), to find solutions to the issues still existing in the field. One of the main aims of the project is the exchange of skills for the study and assessment of innovative materials for the conservation of the UCHs, sustainably. To achieve this goal, several activities, analytical investigations and laboratory tests have been planned to be carried out on archaeological and historical materials coming from three underwater pilot areas, selected in the Mediterranean and Atlantic sea. Specifically, in this work the main stages that will be conducted are: a) study and characterization of archaeological/historical materials; b) laboratory and in situ experimentation for developing a conservation strategy against the biofouling; c) development of marketable products. This paper show the detail of each of the abovementioned stages, with a close look also at non destructive testing methodologies.
