Daily work aboundswith examples of decaying of even otherwise resistantinorganic materials. In the storages of the NationalMuseum in Belgrade there are items of unconserved lessfired ceramics that suffered long exposing to inadequateconditions – outdoor agents; such ceramics is turninginto its original form – into earth.It is only understandable that these destructiveprocesses are even more detrimental if the objects oforganic and composite material are unprotected andkept in inadequate conditions. On the other hand, thefragile nature of these archaeological objects makesapplication of preventive conservation treatments difficult;it makes it a very complex, sensitive, often uncertainand a fully multidisciplinary endeavour.In curative active conservation the curative conservationtreatment is applied i.e. a treatment thatcures/heals.In case of already damaged archaeological materialsince the passive measures of protection and preventiveactive conservation treatments were not applied, thechances are that cultural property will be lost forever. Insuch cases, it is necessary to apply curative conservationand thus try to “heal”the object and prevent its completedecaying.However, curative conservation should be the lastmeasure taken in protection of an archaeological object.It raises many dilemmas and contradictions mainly dueto interventions on the substance of cultural property.There are those who advocate that the curative conservationendangers the integrity of the object, changes its22very nature that is the origin of its material.These dilemmasare mainly due to the reversibility issues, uncertaintyof nature of future reaction between the originalstructure of museum object and conservation materialused. Curative conservation requires most subtle professionalunderstanding of the historical, cultural andesthetic values and messages of the archaeologicalobjects and works of art.Another issue raised is that the curative conservationrequires a long-term treatment thus “keeping” the damagedobject for long time in work and possibly causingits additional decay. Finally, curative conservation treatmentsare costly, require significant financial means andtime, a complex approach involving researching, interdisciplinarityand multidisciplinarity.We could even say that curative active conservationis the one of the most sensitive departments in protectionthat often makes the professionals test the limits oftheir professional ethics and behaviour. This is the partof cultural heritage protection where the division linebetween the correct and incorrect, between the ethicaland unethical becomes very thin and not always clearor well defined.The basic approach implemented in DIANA Centreboth in preventive and curative active conservationunderstands:- Temporary conservation treatments- Reversible methods- Use of undestructive methods onlyMethodologically, both the preventive and curativeconservation treatments, as may be needed, shouldobserve the following phases in the process:- Conservation documentation- Conservation investigation
