Abstract
Preventive conservation of Underwater Cultural Heritage requires complete knowledge of the environment in which an item/site is located, the materials from which it is made, and the degradation phenomena experienced in the surrounding environment. To understand the different decay phenomena, the first step is to identify the environmental stressors that participate in the deterioration processes. This paper conducts a literature review on the environmental parameters that play a key role in the degradation of Underwater Cultural Heritage. Sites/items suffer from natural degradation and change processes that are physicochemical, geological, and biological, being the leading agents that regulate and influence these processes water, sediment and living organisms. Understanding these agents and processes is needed to comprehend how heritage develops and degrades.
