<p>Description:<br>
Archaeological finds come out of the ground fragile – and they
often stay that way. Yet archaeologists and museum professionals
have few clear guidelines for handling, moving, storing and
displaying such materials. Participants in Care of Archaeological
Artifacts From the Field to the Lab learn techniques for safely
lifting and packing artifacts, safe transportation and temporary
and permanent storage. The course also covers a broad range of
excavation environments, including the Arctic, wet sites, tropical
and temperate. Though Care of Archaeological Artifacts is not
intended to train archaeological conservators, it is designed to
help participants understand what can and can't be done to save
the artifacts they unearth.</p>
