This is a Foreword by an archaeologist, not a conservator, but as Brad Rodgers says, Conservation has been steadily pulled from archaeology by the forces of specialization (p. 3),andhewantstoremedythatsituationthroughthismanual. He seesthisworkasa calltoactionforthenon-professionalconservator, permitting curators, conservators, and archaeologists to identify artifacts that need prof- sional attention and, allow these professionals to stabilize most artifacts in their own laboratories with minimal intervention, using simple non-toxic procedures (p. 5). It is the mission of Brad s manual to bring conservation back into arch- ology (p. 6). The degree of success of that goal depends on the degree to which archaeologists pay attention to, and put to use, what Brad has to say, because as he says, The conservationist/archaeologist is responsible to make preparation for an artifact s care even before it is excavated and after its storage into the foreseeable future . . . a tremendous responsibility (p. 10). The manual is a combination of highly technical as well as common sense methods of conserving wood, iron and other metals, ceramics, glass and stone, organicsandcomposits afarbetterguidetoartifactconservationthanwasava- able to me when I ?rst faced that archaeological challenge at colonial Brunswick Town, North Carolina in 1958 a challenge still being faced by archaeologists today.
