Workshop on human remains

The Palaeontology Conservation Unit (PCU) will be holding a small
one-day workshop on human remains conservation on 1 December 2005 at
the Natural History Museum.

The workshop will bring together conservators who actively work on
the conservation of human remains to discuss their practical. Topics
covered will environmental parameters, cleaning, consolidation,
remedial techniques, storage materials and design.

Six guest speakers have been invited from museums around the country
to relate their practical experiences of remedial and preventive
care of human remains.  These will be followed by group discussions
regarding the practical issues of care.
