Archaeological Conservation Using Polymers : Practical Applications for Organic Artifact Stabilization


Description

Over the years, archaeologists have developed a number of techniques for conserving historical artifacts for future generations. Up to now, however, these methods have provided artifacts only a limited lifespan and in some cases they do not work well with water-logged materials. Within the past few years, archaeological chemistry and concerns of longevity testing have become central issues in the development of conservation treatment strategies. This problem became particularly acute when members of the Texas A&M Nautical Archaeology Program were called on to conserve artifacts on "LaBelle", the sunken ship of La Salle excavated in the 1990s off the coast of Texas by the Texas Historical Commission. Working with Dow Corning Corporation, Texas A&M's Archaeological Preservation Research Lab, and the Conservation Research Lab, C. Wayne Smith and his colleagues set out to develop a series of techniques that would yield successful and affordable treatment strategies for organic artifacts without sacrificing important information. In this work, C. Wayne Smith prescribes an effective layout for day-to-day conservation of small organic artifacts and then examines some of the techniques used to process various organic materials from marine and land sites.

Cole is following in a long tradition of writerly walkers who, in the tradition Archaeological Conservation Using Polymers : Practical Applications for Organic Artifact Stabilization download PDF of Baudelaire, make their way through urban spaces on foot and take their time doing so. Like Alfred Kazin, Joseph Mitchell, J. M. Coetzee, and W. G. Sebald (with whom he is often compared), Cole adds to the literature in his own zeitgeisty fashion. " The Boston Globe" In "Lighten Up, "Peter demonstrates that this reassessment of priorities is a great opportunity to examine our lives and circumstances and to make the changes necessary to focus on the things that really matter. Exploring the real source of happiness, Peter offers a clear strategy for finding the delicate balance between what we have, what we need, and what we want or feel entitled to. With three unique audits that cover every aspect of our well-being, he takes us step by step through sizing up not just our possessions and financial statements but also our thoughts, goals, use of time and energy, and even our innermost sources of tension. He then shows us how to embrace the changes we ve experienced, set a new path for the future, and come to accept that living on less can feel and be so much richer.
