ABSTRACT
Protective management of archaeological sites in situ requires knowledge of the state of preservation and understanding of ongoing degradation processes, preferably on a quantitative scale. The preservation potential of organic archaeological deposits is strongly dependent on hydrological conditions, and it is thus necessary for any archaeological site to be placed within the context of its wider natural environment (Holden et al., 2006; 2009). The aim of this paper is to present recent advancements in quantifying degradation rates at Bryggen in Bergen, and presentation of multidisciplinary subsurface data through 3D framework modelling.
