Every little find, even if it seems inconspicuous at first glance, provides the Kalkriese archaeologists with information about the Varus Battle. To this end, the artefacts must be restored. In particular the high salt content in the iron, due to the long storage in the ground, requires constant follow-up treatment. The stored salts combine with the water from the humidity in the air, swell up and crack the finds from the inside. Even already restored artefacts develop cracks and burst open after some time. In order to avoid their complete destruction, the finds must be continuously reworked and professionally stored.
VARUSSCHLACHT im Osnabrücker Land gGmbH takes on the challenge of preserving these valuable objects, which provide immense insights into the course of the battle and life 2,000 years ago, for future generations.
