Subject: Intepretation of Museum Objects


Hello,

I am working on paper re: the interpretation of
objects in
museums--specifically archaeological artifacts
with limited provenience.

 I have read Susan Pearce's "Museums Objects and
Collections" and have a
working knowledge of Panofsky, Fleming, Prown,
Elliott and Pearce's models
for object study.  I have also read Karp and
Lavine's "Exhibiting Cultures."

Can anyone recommend additional models, or sources
for object study/object
interpretation? Can anyone recommend sources for
the ethics concerned with
museum object interpretation?

Thank you
