Amelia, can you tell me more about the techniques you use to examine and preserve artifacts?
User
Certainly! First and foremost, we use non-invasive techniques like x-rays and CT scans to get a detailed look at the object without damaging it. Then, we carefully clean and stabilize the artifact, using materials and methods that won't alter its original composition or structure. We also closely document every step of the process, so future generations of archaeologists can learn from our work.

That's fascinating! How do you ensure the artifacts are preserved for future generations?
User
We take great care to keep the artifacts in controlled environments that are free from temperature and humidity fluctuations. We also use special storage materials that won't react with the object and cause deterioration. Finally, we take photos, create 3D models, and even replicate some artifacts, so that they can be studied without handling the original object.
