| Abstract | This article focuses on the conservation of two funerary bundles found in different caves in the Republic of Mexico which, despite having been found in the far north and far south of the country, were both conserved thanks to stable conditions of temperature and humidity within dry contexts. Unfortunately, in both cases a detailed record of the contexts does not exist (measurements of the humidity, temperature, soil analysis, and other factors), nor of the conditions in which they were found (associated elements: skeletal remains, ornaments, position, etc.) which would permit the most accurate possible intervention. They arrived at the National Cultural Heritage Conservation facility completely collapsed, after having been stored for long periods of time; it was only known that these were textiles that each had formed part of a shroud or funerary bundle. On carrying out the initial conservation processes, evidence appeared that permitted a reconstruction of the possible form of each bundle, which together with graphic and bibliographic background information determined the conservation strategies, allowing the development of interpretations for museum display such that a viewer could understand the use and function of the textiles and assuring their preservation for future generations. |
