Mesquite Exudates and Insect Lac: O’odham Use and Hohokam Traditions
Historic accounts often cite mesquite gum as a component of O’odham material culture and medicinal practices. This study reevaluates these claims through chemical analysis of artifacts and reconsiders historical accounts in light of the chemistry of mesquite exudates. Museum artifacts previously identified as containing mesquite gum were instead identified as insect lac, consistent with its use in Hohokam artifacts and suggesting technological co…
A Multi-analytical Characterization of Minerals on Hohokam Palettes
Stone palettes are a unique artifact of Hohokam culture. Discovery of lead minerals on these palettes dates back to the 1930s, however there has been little chemical analysis of these minerals. This research presents the result of a multi-analytical survey on the accretions of nearly 200 palettes to develop a better understanding of occurrence of lead minerals and isotopic characterization to address questions of sourcing, procurement and mineral…

Pesticide Contamination and Archaeological Collections: Contextual Information for Preparing a Pesticide History
The issue of pesticide-contaminated archaeological collections has generated concern among staff in collecting institutions. Pesticides have long been used, but the awareness of their unseen persistence and their potential as a human health hazard is a new aspect of preventive conservation. Background information and guidelines for developing a pesticide history are provided for repositories, museums, cultural resource management companies in the…

A survey of plant and insect exudates in the archaeology of Arizona
Woven Wonders and Saving Basketry at the Arizona State Museum
Advances in conservation employed at the Arizona State Museum have expanded the research options for over 35,000 ethnographic and archaeological perishable objects since 2012. The Woven Wonders basketry conservation project has provided increased access to the collection, instituted new conservation treatment technique, initiated new research topics, provided advanced educational opportunities, instigated new forms of collaborative conservation, …
The Conservation of Human Remains: Ethical Questions and Experiences in America
The ethics and deontology of the conservation-restoration of human remains in the United States is explored in this article. Most indigenous people venerate human remains. When considering care, treatment, storage, display, or research there are typically ideological intensions and ethics, cultural traditions of appropriateness, and legal regulations that must be considered. Conservators need to be responsive to legislative changes and to calls f…
