CONSERVATION WORK IN BANGANARTI IN 2006

Summary/Abstract: The conservation and building work proceeding concurrently with the excavations in the Raphaelion in Banganarti was aimed at protecting and preserving the uncovered building and the murals, graffiti and inscriptions found on its walls, preferably in their original place and position. While in situ structural reinforcement of wall paintings is a primary objective, on occasion it is necessary to transfer an object in order to be able to continue studies on it. The present report will focus on the procedures followed in two such instances from the Banganarti churches: a mural with scratched inscription from Chapel 9 in the Upper Church and a mural from the Lower Church.
