In the Lab

Hello all!  It's been a busy couple of weeks for us all with July 4th celebrations and such.  Strawbery Banke had a successful 4th with a moving naturalization ceremony. The kids' parade after decoration their bikes and themselves was a big hit as well! The "Threads" gala and runway show the Saturday before also had a great turnout. 

Just a couple pictures of the progress that is coming on the Chase house artifacts.  These items, fresh from washing, are now ready to be cataloged.

You can see in the pictures, as we wash the items, we also sort them.  We classify these items according to material and what pieces might be part of the same vessel or form.

There are a variety of time periods here ranging from relatively modern plumbing pipes to 18th and 19th century ceramics.
