| Summary: |
Continued access to finds is required in order for archaeologists,
anthropologists, conservators and myriad other specialists, to complete
preservation, research and publication activities. The management
of finds presently relies largely on digital methods, and the development
of virtual collections is a direction that is aiding researchers
and conservators, and is increasing access by the general public
through schools, universities, libraries, and museums.
This symposium will bring together directors of excavations and
of centralized storage repositories for archaeological collections,
archaeological conservators who have achieved innovative and accessible
storage methods, and archaeologists who have developed digital management
systems for portable finds.
