Abstract
In previous laser cleaning tests and analyses that we carried out on fossil bones, we demonstrated the feasibility and the effectiveness of the laser approach. Based on these results, we designed a conservation procedure employing fibre-optic delivered Nd:YAG laser radiation, integrated with other conventional cleaning techiques, such as micro-sandblasting and chemical cleaning. The procedure has beeb optimised to be applied on an important specimen, such as the fossil human "skull of Buai", recently discovered by a research expedition of the Department of Earth Svience of University of Florence and presently preserved in teh Museum of Asmara (Eritrea).
