How to Conduct Museum Research and Recent Research Findings in Museum Collections: Posters in Honor of Terry Childs

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "How to Conduct Museum Research and Recent Research Findings in Museum Collections: Posters in Honor of Terry Childs," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Many museums nationwide have archaeological collections available to researchers that are underutilized. This underutilization is due in part to lack of knowledge about available collections and how to initiate research at a museum. This poster session gives archaeologists the opportunity to talk with numerous curators and collections managers about their collections, how to access their collections, and discuss relevant museum policies (such as destructive analysis). In addition to this, the session will feature recent research conducted with museum collections to inspire possible research projects that can be done with museum collections and allow archaeologists the opportunity to obtain advice from those who have successfully executed museum based research projects.
