Join tour guide Abigail in Israel as we meet a conservator, Rosa Lowinger, and learn about an important field within archaeology that helps ensure artifacts are properly excavated and preserved—conservation.

Rosa explains what conservation is and why it's important in the context of archaeology. She also shows us some recent finds from a local dig, including painted plaster and glass.

Learn more about Rosa’s projects as an art conservator here. 

Purchase Rosa’s book, Tropicana Nights, here, and be on the lookout for her new book, Dwell Time: A Memoir of Art, Exile, and Repair, which will be published in October 2023.
