> MS215: Care of Archaeological Artifacts from the Field to the Lab
> Instructors: Diana Komejan
> Price: $475
> Dates: May 7 through June 1, 2012
> Location: online at www.museumclasses.org
>
> 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.
>
> Logistics:
> Participants in Care of Archaeological Artifacts work through sections
> at their own pace. Instructor Diana Komejan is available for scheduled
> email support. Materials and resources include online literature, slide
> lectures and dialog between students and online chats led by the
> instructor. The course is limited to 20 participants.
>
> Archaeological Collections Care runs four weeks. To reserve a spot in
> the course, please pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If
> you have trouble please contact Helen Alten at [log in to unmask]
