They are sorted according to find category: Ceramics, glass, metal, bone, stone and other. In addition to the type of find, information on the context and circumstances of the find is also stored. The finds are then cleaned. Ceramics, sculpture and architectural fragments as well as glass finds are washed with clear water and a soft brush. Unusual pieces that initially require professional cleaning or need to be protected from decay are carefully cleaned, stabilised and conserved by the conservators. Sometimes broken ceramic or glass vessels can also be reassembled from individual fragments      <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.doliche.uni-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Haus-und-Ausflug-7-scaled.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step involves the genre-specific documentation and analysis.
