During his presentation for #IconArchTC last week, conservator Rowan shared an image of a potsherd from #Clachtoll, decorated using the head of a pin. Could this be the very same pin? ๐ #MomentOfDiscovery @coigachassynt @HistEnvScot @HeritageFundUK #HESSupported
8 #IconArchTC A decorative copper alloy pin recovered from the site demonstrates a dual use to make decorative impressions on ceramic vessels.
Check out some of the amazing objects found at #Clachtoll Broch & the conservation work carried out in this paper as part of @ICONArchaeology twitter conference last week #IronAge #Archaeology #IconArchTC
1 #IconArchTC Hello, Rowan from AOC Archaeology here. This presentation is on a selection of just some of the incredible artefacts recovered and conserved from Clachtoll Broch, Assynt #Clachtoll @AOCArchaeology
@cparen Hi Charlotte. The coins are copper alloy so the expectation was for bright copper pennies. The coin in the BT/AT Photo actually has a higher silver content with a stable well preserved surface - giving it a shinier appearance than most. #IconArchTC
This gorgeous piece of decorated Iron Age pot from #Clachtoll Broch ๐ featured in our conservator Rowan's presentation for #IconArchTC - perfect for #PotteryWeek
7 #IconArchTC A large proportion of the ceramic sherds recovered are decorated. Decorations on this piece comprise series of dots, incised decorations and โbarleyโ cordon. Lipid analysis of residue on the sherds suggests a diet rich in dairy and some marine products.
Take a look at the Icon Archaeology Twitter conference threads, there are some great presentations.

@HGaniaris Well done @ICONArchaeology! A stimulating and engaging day of excellent presentations. Huge thanks to everyone involved in the organisation of #IconArchTC and also to those who shared their knowledge and experience with our global audience. Bravo!
A fascinating insight into the conservation of one of our collections. Well done Jenny ๐ #IconArchTC
1 #IconArchTC Hi everyone! Today weโll be sharing our experiences of working on a range of objects relating to archaeologist & curator Dorothy Green (1898-1998). In 2018 when @cliftonparkmus turned 125 we celebrated with an anniversary exhibition and Dorothy was the leading lady.

Another great thread #IconArchTC, this time from Natalie โจ about conservation of the Iron Age wooden bowl from the Cairns Broch ๐ Our conservators do magical things!
1 #IconArchTC Good afternoon everyone, today I am presenting my work to date on this amazing Iron Age bowl. @AOCArchaeology were contracted to carry out the conservation of The Cairns bowl and a peg by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) @UHIArchaeology
It's brilliant to see another well-being focused talk at #IconArchTC: conservators work hard and we often run ourselves into the ground. More awareness and openness are needed. ๐ More compassion for all, not just the objects!
6. #IconArchTC Instead, longer hours mean that workers are more stressed, fatigued, more likely to injure themselves, and make mistakes (Golden 2011; Pencave 2014). This means that more time spent surveying is more likely to exacerbate survey fatigue and lessen productivity.
#IconArchTC Thanks for following along while we all #stayhome and stay safe! You can journey online to Sirmilik National Park by following this link : https://t.co/awQhNnEj8O
12. #IconArchTC We hope this presentation helps you in your future collections survey endeavors. Lastly, a big thank you to our colleagues at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory and the Dovetail Cultural Resource Group.
11. #IconArchTC creating an ergonomic workspace for surveying, and healthy habits like exercise and sufficient sleep can all help significantly with lessening survey fatigue. Efforts like these to lessen survey fatigue will have a positive impact on your teamโs productivity.
10. #IconArchTC In conclusion, survey fatigue is a result of the repetitive actions that a team performs when carrying out a collections survey. Survey fatigue may not be completely avoidable, but taking breaks, breaking down total numbers into daily or weekly goals,
9. #IconArchTC Most important: take breaks. Longer hours are detrimental to productivity, but breaks provide a helpful boost (Erdman 2019; Pang 2016). Young, Rivers, and Hurry (2003) noted a productivity increase after a 6-week project break. Our team surveyed every other week.
8. #IconArchTC 1) Break the survey down into daily or weekly goals and project milestones, 2) periodically rest your eyes to prevent eye strain [https://t.co/J5qk3pTOyh], 3) create an ergonomic workspace [https://t.co/uVz1o5b9yr], 4) get sufficient sleep and exercise.
7. #IconArchTC Now that youโre aware of survey fatigue and the non-linear relationship between human work and human output, we wanted to share some practical tips that we learned in the trenches of surveying that can help you lessen survey fatigue.
#IconArchTC Overall the conservators spent approx. 30 days on reports, 24 days on photography & 49 days on treatment for this ONE batch of objects. Demonstrating that even with a stream-lined process, archeological conservation takes time!
