Conservation of the fragment with the traces from the trowel

IMage: The traces of the antique instrument (trowel?) on the rudus The traces of the antique instrument (trowel?) on the rudus

We found in one spot marks made by the ancient tool used to apply the mortar (possibly a trowel) and succeeded to conserve this fragment as well. The same conservation techniques and materials as described above were used above to detach, conserve, make a molding, and expose the fragment.

Conservation of the fragment with the hand impression

The treatment of this fragment will be identical to the treatment of the fragments with incision: molding, producing of negative and positive, and conservation.
