What is Microbial decay of waterlogged archaeological wood found in Sweden Applicable to archaeology and conservation about?
Waterlogged archaeological wood su}ers from microbial degradation[ Sections from 81 archaeological samples from seven marine and terrestrial sites in Sweden were investigated using light! and electron microscopy to determine the major forms of microbial decay[ Decay was related to sample age\ wood species and environmental factors[ The results con\_rmed earlier observations that erosion bacteria were the main degraders of archaeological waterlogged soft! and hardwoods\ whereas soft rot and tunnelling bacterial decay were less frequently observed[ Characteristic slime material\ derived from attack by erosion bacteria and left behind in the cell lumen\ may a}ect the penetration of consolidants used to conserve waterlogged archaeological wood[ Advanced decay by erosion bacteria had only a slight e}ect on the original colour\ form and appearance of the wood[ Di}erent oxygen levels in~uence the type of microbes and the extent of decay[ Examining the decay can reveal a great deal about the past history of a site and provide valuable information to archaeologists[ Þ 0888 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved[
