No it is not a new concept at all. Its at least an already accepted fact that they are on the wreck site, or part of it, so they should be finding conglomerates which can be a combination of most anything. Those have to be processed. Sometimes one can readily identify the forms of whats encrusted and sometimes not. From what I learned when working on the projects in the Dominican Republic, recovering conglomerates is the norm along with individual items (artifacts, treasure, etc.) The preservation side of things is sensitive because without proper cleaning and processing, high value artifacts can be damaged or completely destroyed. In any case, SFRX should not have any responsibility/liability for processing artifacts which belong or will belong to the State. I presume they (Florida) have their own conservation facility just like the Dominicans do.
