Abstract
Since 1981 waterlogged leather from excavations in London has been treated by a batch process of glycerol (1,2,3 - propantriol) impregnation followed by freeze-drying. A re-evaluation of this treatment procedure has been taking place over recent years. Treatment performance was monitored and evaluated using a criterion anchored rating scale and results analysed statistically. The results of preliminary work were reported in WOAM 96. Improvements to the criterion anchored rating scale have been made and a protocol for its use determined. The additional use of a rigorous experimental design has enabled close analysis of the data using more powerful statistical techniques. The results show the usefulness of developing this technique to indicate methods of improving treatments. However further work on the development of measurement systems and the development of methodologies to model complex systems is necessary before definitive answers can be given.
