Since its establishment in 2008, the Conservation Laboratory for Underwater Finds of the Department of Antiquities, Cyprus (DoA) has been treating finds from underwater surveys and those of the two systematic underwater excavations (Mazotos and Nissia Shipwrecks) currently taking place on the island.In recent years, and with the advancement of the excavations on both sites, a range of objects of many materials has been lifted and, consequently, requires conservation; ceramics, metals, wood (structural, cargo or objects), other organics such as olive pits, bone, horn, and many others. The Honor Frost Foundation have provided support for a conservator at the department as well as funding for additional training and workshops. In 2018 a conservation workshop was organised and included participants from Cyprus, Egypt and Lebanon, the workshop included practical and theoretical sessions on conservation for waterlogged material.
