Abstract
The conservation has been conducted for the fragments of an wooden boat in the Neolithic Age, excavated from Bibong-ri, Changnyeong, Korea. The vacuum-freeze drying have been applied to mostly to the small relics, such as wooden lacquerwares or small wooden goods etc.. Therefore, the large objects like a wooden boats have been treated almost by air-drying after impregnation with aqueous PEG solution. The air-drying is needed to impregnate with PEG aqueous solution during long period and run the risk of the fault generation. This report explain an example adapted for the fragments of the wooden boat by humidity-controlled drying(HCD) with slow adjusting moisture content. We did the chemical pre-treatment, PEG aqueous solution. The concentration of the aqueous solution was increased gradually from 10% to 80%. After the impregnation, the objects were dried by the HCD. The dimensional stability of the fragments after treatment was good.
창녕 비봉리에서 출토된 신석기 시대 나무배 편을 대상으로 PEG 함침처리 후 조습건조를 진행하였다. 칠기나 목기와 같은 소형 수침고목재 유물의 경우에는 진공동결건조법이 가장 많이 적용되고 있으나, 소형 유물에만 적용할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 선박과 같은 대형유물의 경우에는 대부분 PEG 처리 후 자연건조를 하고 있으나 장시간의 약제함침이 요구되며, 건조결함이 발생할 위험이 있다. 따라서 본 처리에서는 비봉리 출토 나무배 편 4점을 대상으로 PEG 수용액으로 10%에서 80%까지 단계적으로 함침처리 후 조습건조법을 적용하였다. 또한 조습건조 후 배편의 습도조건별 중량변화를 측정하여 유물의 치수안정성을 확인하였다.
