The INA conservation laboratory is currently housed in the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology.
Our mission is to preserve every artifact recovered from the shipwrecks excavated by INA in Turkish waters. So far, the laboratory has preserved the finds from the eleventh century Serce Limani Glass Wreck, and the ninth century Bozburun shipwreck. We have also worked with finds recovered from along the Turkish coastline on the annual INA Surveys.
Our current focus is the conservation of the many finds from the fourteenth century BC Uluburun shipwreck.
