Watson); 3) A clear case of profiling: defining archaeological conservators in the U.S. (Claire Peachey); 4) Training archaeological conservators (Virginia Greene); 5) Research and training in a field conservation laboratory: Kaman-Kalehoyuk (Glenn Wharton); 6) Archaeological conservation in the U.S. Navy (Claire Peachey); 7) Getting the job done: challenges presented by continuity, change, and controversy in the conservation of artifacts in shipwreck archaeology (Sarah Watkins-Kenney); 8) Fieldwork and artifact stabilization a woodland burial study: developing methodologies for monitoring and modeling the burial environment (Karla Graham and Peter Crow); 9) Excavating soil blocks at Sylvester Manor (Dennis Piechota); 10) The use of cyclododecane in field stabilization and storage of archaeological finds (Sanchita Balachandran); 11) New perspectives regarding the stabilization of terrestrial and marine archaeological iron (Paul Mardikian, Nestor G.
