Abstract
The conservation of the early Islamic Bath at Volubilis in the North-West of Morocco led to the discovery of unknown aspects of the hydraulic system of the building in addition to the realisation of the first archaeological conservation work in the country which aimed to preserve the ruins and reconstruct the bath structures for future presentation to the public. The conservation work of the bath represents the earliest known use of traditional and local material and labour in conservation project in the country, as well as its consolidation and preparation for display.
