Our museum is the site of prehistoric Mississippian culture village (1100A.D.-1350 A.D.) Professional archaeological excavations have been conducted here since 1983, and during the 1994 excavation a floor painting was uncovered. It was carefully dug out of the ground and placed in a plywood box. The floor itself was hardened clay, and the painting appears to be a sun cirlce with at least three distinct colors. The pigment has not been analyzed. We'd like to make sure we're doing the right things conservation-wise, and also welcome advice on how best to exhibit the artifact. We're located 1/4 mile from the Mississippi River and humidity is a big issue. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
