Examples: two Old Babylonian legal texts P315345 and P315343 and an Early Old Babylonian royal inscription with a larger area covered with thick salt encrustation. Depending on the conditions of storage these salts might reach the surface and build smaller or larger encrustations. Cases are shown here of salts remaining in the clay body even after firing and desalination. Controlling the environment and specifically the humidity that these objects are stored has been shown to be an effective way of preventing salt movement and therefore damage. However this treatment is not always effective and the approach is debated because the salt can be a significant part of the object's structure. Historically firing was followed by desalination in water to remove soluble salts. It became necessary to modify the firing process according to the analysis of the clay fabric of each artefact. The firing not always led to the desired result and did the artefacts more harm than good. The firing of a tablet, however, changes the chemical and physical characteristics of the clay. Until quite recently it has been customary to fire tablets in museum collections in order to better preserve them. Furthermore, many so-called "library" texts were fired in antiquity as well. In cases such as Palace G in Ebla, which has been destroyed by fire, the tablets were burnt already in antiquity. The majority of cuneiform artefacts were discovered unfired in the soil. The circles are actually salt drawn to the surface where it could escape more quickly due to holes in the material they were placed on.Ĭredit: Norris, Dana & Wagensonner, Klaus These are not ancient traces, but a shadow of the surface the tablet was dried on during the desalination process. This kind of pattern with little round dots can be found on a greater number of tablets. The green area represents earlier treatment of the tablet. Reflectance Transformation Imaging discussed in earlier posts thanks to the raking light can still help to make remains of the inscription visible. Both obverse and reverse have been imaged with the camera dome. The red area shows a part of the surface, which is extremely worn out. Parts of the surface have already been lost other areas are at risk of flaking off. It is one of those objects in the Ashmolean Museum, which is at risk of irreparable damage, if it does not receive treatment to secure the surface as far as possible.
