Fitch was an architect, preservationist, and a founder of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University.

The topic for this year will be "The Preservationists' Eye: Esthetics in Reuse and Conservation of the Historic Built Environment" and will be held at the recently restored Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at 15 East 84th Street in New York City.

The deadline for applying for the Fitch Mid-Career Grant and the Richard L. Blinder Award is Wednesday, September 16, 2009.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-symposium-to-honor-james-marston-fitch/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/3d-digital-rock-art-documentation-and-preservation-workshop-2009-05/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/3d-digital-rock-art-documentation-and-preservation-workshop-2009-05/#comments Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:10:04 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=4079 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/3d-digital-rock-art-documentation-and-preservation-workshop-2009-05/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dplan-software-package-helps-collections-managers-make-the-best-of-the-worst/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dplan-software-package-helps-collections-managers-make-the-best-of-the-worst/#comments Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:58:00 +0000 jkguin http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=4029 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dplan-software-package-helps-collections-managers-make-the-best-of-the-worst/feed/ 2 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/evaluation-of-conservation-and-preservation-practices-in-a-southwest-pottery-collection-2009-04/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/evaluation-of-conservation-and-preservation-practices-in-a-southwest-pottery-collection-2009-04/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:11:37 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3807

Because each waterway is chemically different to some extent, and because mussels incorporate the chemicals into their shells, it is theoretically possible to identify where shell artifacts or shell-tempered pottery was made by chemically analyzing the shell.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/sourcing-shell-and-shell-tempered-artifacts-using-laser-ablation-2009-02/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/#comments Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:42:06 +0000 David W.

As Kris Hurst put it on her About.com blog, Time Team America "brings a Mission Impossible team of professional archaeologists to a different archaeological site in the United States," where they spend "three days at each site, bringing along a raft of cutting edge remote sensing and geophysical survey techniques."]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/removal-of-arsenic-and-mercury-contamination-in-museums-using-a-natural-environmentally-benign-chemical-2006-02/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/removal-of-arsenic-and-mercury-contamination-in-museums-using-a-natural-environmentally-benign-chemical-2006-02/#comments Wed, 08 Jul 2009 17:03:48 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3700 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/removal-of-arsenic-and-mercury-contamination-in-museums-using-a-natural-environmentally-benign-chemical-2006-02/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/merging-aerial-synthetic-aperture-radar-sar-and-satellite-multispectral-data-to-inventory-archaeological-sites-2007-11/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/merging-aerial-synthetic-aperture-radar-sar-and-satellite-multispectral-data-to-inventory-archaeological-sites-2007-11/#comments Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:56:56 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3681
