Museum
forges unique partnerships When the tools she and other researchers
need aren’t available at Emory, Carlos Museum Conservator Renee
Stein looks outside the University for help. In the past two years, Stein
has forged collaborative relationships with Delta Air Lines and Hershey’s—yes,
Hershey’s—to examine Carlos artifacts. Delta’s high-powered
X-ray machines have been used to study ancient metal objects to determine
whether cracks are from repairs or part of the original artwork, and the
Pennsylvania-based chocolate manufacturer has been employed to test for
the presence of chocolate in pre-Columbia artifacts from Costa Rica. Click
