Shockingly enough, we don't glue stuff back together!
We tape things temporarily for photos and to get MNIs, then we pull em
appart when we're done. It uses up less space in the box.

Offhand, I can't really think of a reason to glue stuff -- even for exhibit
purposes -- it just encourages artifact fetishism. I prefer the stuff in
bits the way God made it.
