Résumé

This article discusses a collection of bronze artifacts housed in the Djemila Archaeological Museum located in Sétif, which is recognized as one of the significant ancient archaeological sites related to early human activity. However, the challenge of preserving and maintaining these artifacts for the longest possible duration to ensure their transmission to future generations remains a significant issue faced by specialists in the field of conservation. Our selection of these bronze artifacts is not solely based on their archaeological importance; rather, it is also due to the threats they face from factors that lead to deterioration when compared to other metallic finds that exhibit greater resistance. Additionally, the rarity of this collection and its exposure to decay pose a risk of losing an important archaeological heritage. Therefore, it is imperative that we establish an urgent theoretical framework for their protection and management, as well as for their restoration after identifying the key damaging factors affecting these bronze collections.
