Answer 2

The need for the archaeologist to handle artefacts with utmost care​

Explanation:

• Artifact preservation procedures start  even before the dig uncovers anything of significance. When a miner discovers anything which may be an real artifact, be it a pottery shard or a earth encrusted weapon, all nearby activity stops as the senior archaeologists investigate the possible discovery.
• Airtight bins made of corrosion-resistant material are set in order to collect the item following diligent extraction and some of the dirt is removed to check for its ingenuity
• Transportation must be handled carefully and the product and its container is transferred to a climate controlled room that does not allow air to travel easily and minimizes light. Study of the sample usually does not take place until scientists realize how fragile it looks
• Corrosion prevention is extremely important for the preservation of artifacts. If exposed to too much humidity, dust or even rough handling, certain objects, such as text and scrolls, disintegrate. Archaeologists must be prepared to preserve any type of artifact which they uncover.
• Long-term preservation and conservation of artifacts is often important in such a manner that the items will remain for years a real and recognizable part of history until they are at a museum or other study site. Climatically controlled cases and rooms are best to prevent the artifact from suffering from corrosion.
• Preservation can be a complicated task, but when correctly handled objects can be preserved for the good of future generations, from pottery to fossil bones through to writings on ancient scrolls.
