>Getting archaeologists to focus on curation has historically been a
>challenge.
>Many are eager to excavate and do the laboratory work required to complete
>their research; but they are far less eager to carefully store artifacts
>in an environmentally controlled repository, where they are safe, secure,
>and accessible in perpetuity. Most of Colorado's museums are no longer
>accepting collections because they have no space. "We just don't have any
>place to put things," said Mark Mitchell, president of CCPA. Only four
>major museums are still accepting collections, and they're restricting
>what they accept.

>To ensure no hantavirus could infect construction workers, Allen Malmquist
>cleaned out various buildings at the site. He wore a hazmat suit and used
>disinfectant to wet down the droppings before hauling them away. He described
>wetting down the fort's main room Jan. 21 and then returning to find the
>object actually visible on the top of the huge accumulation of material.
>There was other trash in the room.

>Malmquist said the scroll was atop a couple of inches of dirt and more
>rodent droppings covering a concrete floor poured sometime after 1905.
>The fort, constructed by the LDS Church, was completed in 1874 -- two years
>after the date on the lead scroll -- to serve as a trading post with the
