- •
Drying up of the Dead Sea exposes cultural heritage of 2500 years of maritime activity.
- •
Waterlogged wood finds on the Dead Sea shore are better preserved than those from the Mediterranean
- •
The Dead Sea's hyper-saline environment prevents biodegradation of wood in the lake water.
- •
Minerals migrating into wood submerged in the lake prevent shrinkage when exposed.
- •
High mineral content in dry wood objects from the Dead Sea causes gradual physical breakdown.
