In recent weeks, Dr Magdalena Majorek-Lipowicz, an archaeologist and a conservator of archaeological artifacts from the Laboratory of Dating and Conservation of Artifacts at the Faculty of Philosophy and History, University of Lodz, has been working on the research project "Opracowanie procedury inwentaryzacji i dokumentacji konserwatorsko-archeologicznej, wdrożenie i konserwacja zachowawcza wybranych wyrobów włókienniczych z badań w Berenike (Egipt)" [Development of the procedure for inventory and conservation-archaeological documentation, implementation and conservation of selected textile products from research in Berenike (Egypt)], for which she received a scholarship from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw (PCMA UW).
Dr Majorek had the pleasure of analysing and preserving some of the textile products obtained from archaeological research in the 2009, 2021, 2023 and 2024 seasons.
