»trotz aller Bepinselung mit der [...] empfohlenen Harzlösung«

A study examining the conservation challenges of bronze artifacts at the Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos reveals that the site's unique environmental conditions—periodic moisture exposure and proximity to the sea—led to diverse corrosion patterns and significant material damage, complicating long-term preservation. The research highlights the development of practical, field-friendly restoration techniques during German excavations (1910–1939), initially employed by archaeologists and later extended to include photographers and assistants. Collaboration with Berlin’s Antikenabteilung and Restaurierungslaboratorium was key in adapting methods for efficiency and accessibility, though challenges persisted due to the site's complex conditions.
