The aim of this study is to assess the condition, characterize the production technology and conserve two large burial jars (pithoi) excavated during the early years of the 1970s from Sahab, Jordan. The jars, that showed physical and chemical deterioration signs, were dated to the Iron Age I based on their style (collared-rim) and accompanied artifacts. In order to determine the date of the jars’ use for burial purposes, a bone femur found in the first jar was radiocarbon dated. The study examines the jars using magnifying lenses, polarized light and scanning electron microscopes and X-ray diffractometer. The radiocarbon date placed the use of the jars for burials during the Late Bronze-Early Iron ages which agrees with their archaeological date. The collected data show that the first jar is tempered with local chart and fired at temperatures below 850oC. The presence of gelignite and verification in the second jar indicates a firing temperature above 850oC. The jars were dry, and then wet cleaned mainly using water, but the chelating agent EDTA was used in certain circumstances. The cracks of sample 1 were filled with a Paraloid B-72 and glass microballoons based-colored paste. A Paraloid based-coat was used to protect them during their display in the museum. |
