		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of this project was to develop improved consolidants for restoration of stone damaged by weathering. Conventional consolidants are organic polymers or silica gels, which are simple materials that do not permit matching of a range of properties of the stone.<br /><br />Later improvement of the suspension procedure resulted in consolidants that are much more stable and fluid. Stone treated with the particle-modified consolidant (PMC) increases dramatically in stiffness and strength. Most impressively in a sodium sulfate test, the PMC provided better protection than a commercial silicate consolidant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A variety of materials and methods have been used to preserve ceramic vessels.  Many have proven successful, while others are damaging.  Monitoring and evaluation of past treatments is a documented research priority in the conservation field.  The Arizona State Museum (ASM) has examined, recorded and analyzed the performance of past treatments on 20,000 southwest vessels and a modern storage facility.<br /><br />This research has afforded the opportunity to look forwards and backwards to identify patterns in archaeological methods, museum management and conservation.]]></description>
