A conservação do património arqueológico, particularmente de artefactos metálicos, constitui uma interface crítica entre estudos de cultura material e a aplicação de metodologias científicas na gestão do património. Dentro dessa estrutura, a presente Dissertação investiga as práticas de conservação aplicadas a artefactos de ferro originários da primeira campanha arqueológica realizada no mosteiro de São Martinho de Tibães em Braga, um local de destaque da tradição beneditina em Portugal, cuja ocupação abrigou à transição do Período Medieval para o Período Moderno. Com foco em quinze artefactos de ferro recuperados em 1992 e atualmente preservados no Museu de Arqueologia Dom Diogo de Sousa (MADDS), o estudo aborda as várias etapas e fatores condicionantes que envolvem a conservação destes objetos. O difícil equilíbrio entre a prática arqueológica e a prática de conservação, inevitavelmente interdependentes, continua a ser um desafio. Esse cenário é agravado pela falta de protocolos e documentação padronizados, bem como pela insuficiência de registos sistemáticos sobre as práticas de conservação aplicadas a artefactos de ferro arqueológico no contexto museológico português. Neste sentido, durante a investigação que durou nove meses, foi possível concluir: (a) a catalogação e caracterização detalhada das degradações químicas e físicas do conjunto selecionado de artefactos de ferro, (b) o levantamento técnico dos procedimentos, métodos e materiais de conservação e restauro a que foram submetidos; (c) a contextualização e análise, tanto teórica quanto empírica, das metodologias predominantes no domínio da conservação de metais arqueológicos; (c) o impacto da educação e sensibilização dos arqueólogos para a temática de conservação dos materiais escavados e (d) a identificação de lacunas recorrentes nas práticas existentes, visando propostas que contribuam para a harmonização e uniformização das estratégias de conservação destes bens patrimoniais.
The conservation of archaeological heritage, particularly of metal artifacts, represents a critical interface between material culture’ studies and the application of scientific methodologies in heritage management. Within this structure, the present Dissertation investigates the conservation practices applied to iron artifacts originating from the first archaeological campaign held at São Martinho de Tibães Monastery in Braga, a prominent place of the Benedictine tradition in Portugal, whose occupation housed the transition from the medieval period to the modern period. Focusing on fifteen iron artifacts recovered in 1992 and currently preserved at the Dom Diogo de Sousa Archaeology Museum (MADDS), the study addresses the various stages and conditioning factors that involve the conservation of these objects. The difficult balance between archaeological practice and inevitably interdependent conservation practice remains a challenge. This scenario is aggravated by the lack of standardized protocols and documentation, as well as the insufficiency of systematic records on conservation practices applied to archaeological iron artifacts in the Portuguese museological context. In this sense, during these nine-month-long investigation, it was possible to conclude: (a) the detailed identification and characterization of the selected set of iron artifacts’ chemical and physical degradation processes, (b) the technical survey of procedures, methods and conservation materials and restoration to which they were submitted; (c) the contextualization and analysis, both theoretical and empirical, of the predominant methodologies in the field of archaeological metals conservation; (c) the impact of archaeologists’ sensitization on the conservation theme of excavated materials and (d) the identification of recurring gaps in existing practices, aiming at proposals that contribute to the harmonization and standardization of conservation strategies of these heritage assets.
