Abstract

Many of the archaeological pottery objects excavated from the archaeological sites have suffered
from different phenomena of deterioration. This kind of pottery needs a consolidation process for
improving the physical and mechanical properties. Some archaeological pottery samples were
obtained from the region of Tel pasta at Sharqia in the East of Delta, dating back to the Ptolemaic
age. The pottery samples used in the study represent different models from the site for their use in
Laboratory study. Scientific laboratory evaluation of some acrylic and silicon consolidation
materials were done such as Monomer Poly Methyl Methacrylate, Paraloid B- 82, Ethyl Silicate
Copolymer AS 21, a mixture of Ethyl Silicate Copolymer AS 21 and Paraloid B-82 and Tegovakon.
Many experiments, tests and different examinations were done on The treated pottery samples
such as determination of physical and mechanical properties, the examination of scanning electron
microscope and thermal, light artificial ageing processes. Tests and experiments have all proved
that one of two consolidants (First, a mixture of ethyl silicate copolymer AS21 and Paraloid B-82 at
a rate of 1:1. Second, ethyl silicate copolymer AS21) must be used to consolidate archaeological
pottery discovered from damp soil.
