Now that is a new one on me. Who teaches artifact appraisal in anthrolopology
courses? All I ever heard was the museum archaeologists skate a very thin
line by applying monetary value to artifacts. I have always heard
archaeologists promoting the package cost of (1) testing, (2) analysis, (3)
report, (4) collections management is the way to appraise one cubic meter of
a site. Can you advise us where there are anthropology courses that teach
monetary appraisal of artifacts?
