Hello all:
This week's East Carolina University Fall field school post discusses artifact conservation. Graduate student Michelle Damian covers how the students are trained in conservation and how she is researching information on the artifacts. Her post includes before and after photos of items undergoing treatment under the direction of Dr. Brad Rodgers. Have a look at the two featured artifacts and see if you have any info to pass on. You can reach the journal here:
