Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2022

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Current Research at Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory," at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The Conservation Research Laboratory (CRL) at Texas A&M University is one of the oldest and largest conservation labs in the country, and focuses primarily on artifact conservation from marine sites. The CRL is a major component of the Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP) at Texas A&M, giving NAP graduate students extensive hands-on training in conservation and providing opportunities for innovative and impactful research. This session will provide an overview of some of the exciting research currently being conducted by the faculty, staff, and students in the CRL, including conservation techniques, digitization and computer modeling, and the historical research associated with our projects.
