The book also includes material about in-situ stabilisation and reburial techniques, which is in line with current legislation and best practices for the protection of underwater cultural heritage. Drawing on both primary and secondary research, contributors provide practical advice relating to different conservation treatments and explain their applicability to particular situations and material types. Case studies cover the conservation of both wooden and iron shipwrecks and chapters provide technical and practical information regarding methodologies that are directly applicable to conservation treatments and analyses. Where practicable, information is provided about conservation practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.Conservation of Cultural Heritage from Marine and Freshwater Sites provides comprehensive and up-to-date preservation information for conservators, archaeologists, conservation scientists, students and anyone else interested in the stabilisation and deterioration of wet cultural heritage.

Over the past three decades, he has contributed to collaborative research projects in maritime archaeology, conservation science and in situ preservation. His research combines diving fieldwork, laboratory analysis, environmental science and conservation practice to develop practical approaches for assessing and preserving underwater archaeological remains. Alongside research and teaching, he has worked with museums, universities and international organisations to develop methods and guidelines for underwater cultural heritage management.
