52 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1963 



galley slips and slieds remain and are restored and utilized for mu- 

 seum halls. Interestingly, the lamiching ends of the slips are now 

 about a block from the water. 



On his way to attend the 18th International Congress of the History 

 of Medicine, held in Warsaw and Krakow, Poland, during September, 

 Dr. Sami Hamarneh, acting curator of medical sciences, sought in- 

 formation in his fields of interest through visits to the British Mu- 

 seum, the Wellcome Medical Library and Museum, the British 

 Pharmaceutical Society, and a number of institutions in Poland. 



In order to collect further data on the life of Frederick Carder, the 

 Englisliman who came to America early in tliis century and estab- 

 lished the Steuben Glass Works, Paul V. Gardner, curator of ceramics 

 and glass, made several visits to Corning, N.Y., where Mr. Carder is 

 living, and to various institutions where examples of Carder's work 

 are preserved. 



From mid-August to mid-October Jacob Kainen, curator of graphic 

 arts, was in Europe gathering material for an exhibition on typog- 

 raphy and doing research for his study of the Dutch engraver 

 Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) . He obtained typographical material 

 from Monotype House, Ltd., London, and consulted with teclinicians 

 and historians in London, Haarlem, and Brussels. Also he conducted 

 research in various museums in London, Amsterdam, Eotterdam, 

 Utrecht, Brussels, Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome, Milan, Parma, and 

 Madrid. 



John N. Pearce, assistant curator of cultural history, with Richard 

 J. Muzzrole, archeological aide, in October, participated in a 10-day 

 archeological investigation of the site of Jolin Frederick Amelung's 

 "New Bremen Glass Manufactory." This, the first major glassmaking 

 enterprise in the American Republic, was operated between 1785 and 

 1795 in Frederick County, Md. The excavations were sponsored by 

 the Corning Museum of Glass with the collaboration of the Smith- 

 sonian Institution. Ivor Noel Hume, honorary research curator, who 

 is chief archeologist of Colonial Williamsburg, Inc., was director of 

 excavations, and Paul N. Perrot, director of the Corning Museum, was 

 executive director of the project. With the evidence of structures and 

 artifacts thus far revealed, it is expected that the results will con- 

 tribute significantly to knowledge of 18th-century glassmaking in 

 America as well as yielding particular information about this influen- 

 tial primary source of American glassmaking skills. 



In November and again in December Mr. Pearce worked with mem- 

 bers of the Maryland Archeological Society in excavations on the 

 Morgan pottery site in Baltimore, a site which dates from the late 

 colonial period. They were fortunate to find in one pit a layer rich 

 with pottery sherds (possibly a working floor) between the undis-
