Popis: This paper describes an improperly attempted field stabilization of a bone needle case from a burial of the late Scythian period in Tuva and its subsequent restoration treatment. An analysis of the burial conditions, excavation circumstances and field conservation actions leads to a conclusion on the existence of a complex of factors leading to the deterioration of the object’s integrity and surface deformations. Determination of the degree of destruction of bone material allowed for the identification of a suitable sequence of restoration ac­tivities.
