Abstrakt:
The article presents brief characteristics of protective gloves, based on an
example of an artifact excavated during archaeological exploration of a “Babel”
granary at Żytnia street in Gdańsk. The object was treated and reconstructed
in The Documentation and Conservation Laboratory of The Institute of Archaeology,
NCU in Toruń. The article includes conservation issues, the program
and description of treatments implemented working on the object, as well as the
problem of importance of archaeological objects’ reconstruction to demonstrate
technological processes and crafts of creating the items, especially to the public
not being involved in scientific problems and having difficulties in perception of
destroyed artifacts, deprived of their cultural contexts.
