This message is for Laurie Hart: I would be interested in receiving a copy of your thesis concerning the "life history" of artifacts from their cultural origin through their "life" in museum collections. I have a similar interest with archaeological artifacts. I appologize for taking up Museum List space for this message, but cannot retrieve people's e-mail addresses unless they include them in the body of their message, thanks to the patched-in way in which I receive my e-mail.
