The purpose of the project "Reburial and Analyses of Archaeological Remains" is to find out and evaluate alternative methods for preserving wet archaeological remains. To rebury is to create a waterlogged storage area to be compared with a "normal" museum storage. The project totally consists of six sub-projects.

The aim is to analyse the preservation or degradation of different material stored in a waterlogged environment in Marstrand, western Sweden. The Bohus County Museum and the Studio Västsvensk Konservering, Sweden, manage the project. Organisations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Australia with relevant competence, take responsibility for respective sub-projects.
