Site conservation techniques: shelters

A chapter of the digital monograph: Site conservation

NOTE: on this topic, cf. also the dedicated topical book on “CONSERVATION”.

The choice of using localized shelters is determined by specific conditions, which are described under options.

I give here the structural details of the localized shelters in their current configuration at Mozan. There are three major components, and one will find full details about each in the pertinent sub-sections:

• the metal frame
• the side panels
• the top cover

For each of these I present first the current system, and then I give details about earlier experiments, whereas the overall development of the system as a whole is discussed in the section on the history of the project.
