Análisis de las condiciones higrotérmicas de espacios expositivos para la exhibición de bienes arqueológicos procedentes de contextos anegados e intersticiales. El caso de la Sala Polivalente del Centro Nacional de Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática
Abstract
This paper analyzes the hygrothermal conditions of the multipurpose room (SP) of the Portuguese National Centre for Nautical and Underwater Archaeology (CNANS), in Lisbon. The CNANS facilities are located in the warehouse buildings of the former Fábrica de Tabacos of Lisbon, Beato area, in the eastern part of the city (next to the Tagus River). The environmental study was carried out in two monitoring campaigns, two months apart. The data was processed by the European standard EN 15757: 2010 and by the limits to climatic damage for artifacts from waterlogged and interstitial archaeological contexts - an unprecedented topic in Portugal. The results of the monitoring periods are presented and discussed. The conclusions show the importance of monitoring the environmental conditions of spaces with museological functions, by virtue of the deteriorative and remedial characteristics of this material culture, in order to improve the environmental quality of its display supported by evidences.
