Description:
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.
