Protecting Archeological Objects from Crude Oil

In the wake of recent oil spills, many in the public sector recognized a need for concise, reliable information to protect cultural heritage from the long-term effects of crude oil. In particular, government officials, archeologists, and preservation professionals wanted to know the risks associated with crude oil contamination on buried and submerged archeological objects and on historic structures.
Since May 2010, NCPTT has been investigating ways to mitigate crude oil from cultural resources. NCPTT staff have compiled pertinent information through literature review to provide guidance to anyone working with cultural resources that have come in contact with crude oil. Where information gaps exist, NCPTT has launched additional research projects to help fill those gaps.
