Their specific characteristics represent a challenge in terms of their proper recovery, conservation, and exhibition. In the following pages, an overview of these materials´ properties is presented, followed by a description of the different excavation contexts. A brief historical review of the different procedures applied is also presented, ending with some considerations for future work in this field.
