Natural Freeze-drying of Water-degraded Timber Structures: Feasibility Study
The objectives of this project were: To gather data from a small scale experimental freeze-drying unit, using natural local conditions, with a view to extending the experiment to a larger scale installation sufficient to deal with timbers from archaeological shipwrecks and other timber constructions...
