The conservation program of the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission in Marina el-Alamein in 2017 included restoration of wall structures and architectural decoration elements damaged as a result of unfavorable climate conditions (Houses H9/H9a and H21, Rooms 10 and 11 in the Roman baths). Wall paintings exposed to weather conditions in situ were treated as part of another conservation project. Minor metal finds were also treated using both chemical and mechanical means in order to identify the objects.
The article presents the program and results of continuous monitoring and preservation of historic architectural structures after the winter period at the site of Marina el-Alamein in Egypt, carried out by the Polish-Egyptian Conservation Mission. The program embraced studies of ancient plaster, polychromy and execution techniques employed for producing elements of sculptural and architectural decoration, as well as conservation of archaeological artifacts.
