  • This bamboo brush stand was made by attaching two bamboo tubes together, each 80mm in diameter. On the bottom is a "∞-shaped"wood board made of Ailanthus altissima. The surfaces are decorated with exquisite and dynamic designs of a dragon and clouds, and a deer and pine trees. Part of this bamboo brush stand was damaged, lost, or worn down, prior to conservation treatment. After conservation and recovery treatment, its original form was restored. Earth powder, chalk, and gluten mixture were used as materials to fill in the missing parts. After the original form was restored, thin silk fabric was attached to the inner surface of the glued part to prevent cracking. Traditional materials and repair techniques were used to allow for reversal of treatment, if necessary, as seen in the surface of the restored part being made antiquated with lacquer varnish.

  • The wooden lacquer wares, which had excavated from the water reservoir in the Isong Sansung Fortress, were applied with vacuum freeze drying method and treated, after they had been substituted with tbutanol, and treated with PEG-pretreatment. The manufacturing technique, which had not been investigated in the past, was examined through the investigation of the wood and the lacquer used for wooden lacquer wares, and the pieces of the lacquer wares, which had been stored for a long time, were restored for the exhibition and conservation. As the result, the wooden lacquer wares were manufactured, using black alder belonging to the group of Alnus, and the lacquer was painted on the bottom-layer by mixing the powdered soil and lacquer, and it was confirmed that the lacquer mixed with the black pigment and the pure lacquer had been painted alternatively over 2 times, and that the wooden lacquer ware had been manufactured through total 5 times of being painted.

  • This is a case study of conservation treatment of the textiles and costumes excavated from Soonchun Park's tomb in Eumsung, North Chungcheong province. When excavated, the objects were found fairly wet and badly smelled since they decayed in wooden coffin. They were wet-treated with deionized water to remove dirt and dried at room temperature, during which the objects were blocked and flattened to keep them in shape. Silk crepeline was under-layed and stitched to the damaged areas with silk-hair threads. Each costume was individually stored in a tray made of paulownia wood and flat textiles were rolled up in paper cylinders with 6 and 10 cm in diameter. Thymol was used to prevent microorganisms.

  • This study is an analysis of residual fatty acid of the unidentified 26 fish bone samples which were excavated from Bupchon-ri in Wonju, Kangwon province. The purpose of this study is to identify fish kind by comparing the residual fatty acid analysis with the reference data of croaker, shark, herring and weakfish. Fatty acid was separated by gas chromatography and distribution pattern was analyzed by calculating composition of each sample. Principal component analysis(PCA), one of multivariate analysis method was used to understand fatty acid distribution data.

  • Excavated lacquer wares can be divided into waterlogged lacquer wares supersatuated with moisture and dry lacquer wares with little moisture. This conservation was done with dry damaged lacquer wares excavated from Daho-ri. Lacquer ware artifacts with lacquer fragments and no surface material remaining were processed using the three following methods. The three methods are reinforcing while sustaining three-dimensional form; reinforcing with earth after cleansing so that fragments are revealed due to weak lacquer fragments; and reinforcing the whole lacquer ware or parts by connecting and supporting missing parts with rayon paper, an artificial fiber paper, if the form cannot be sustained only with lacquer fragments.
