604 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1962 



the newest materials and techniques are being adapted to conserve 

 and to examine the antiquities which are brought to light by the exca- 

 vation of the archeologist. The concept of museum laboratories has 

 now become firmly etsablished, and the spirit of cooperation thus 

 engendered between the scientist and the archeologist is of mutual 

 advantage. The archeologist learns more about the technical aspects 

 of his material and is assured that the treasures which he excavates 

 will be preserved by the best possible means. In return, the horizon of 

 the scientist is considerably broadened and his field of interest enlarged 

 beyond the confines of his laboratory by the knowledge that his studies 

 are correlated with the historical development of mankind.
