Page 46 October 2011 Tours Continued from page 32 The ventilation system is for special projects, like the ceramic pot that is being held together by old, thin strips of masking tape. “See, I was able to get some of the paper off, but the tape still stays,” Young said, showing where the tape gunk has left phantom strips. “There a real mixture of things that get worked on in here,” she said. At the end of the hallway, a pair of double doors opens into the storage room, which is noticeably cooler than the rest of the building. It’s exactly 65 degrees with 30 percent humidity, a temperature that Young said was within the narrow window suitable for a large, mixed collection like the one stored on metal shelves that dominate the room. Special, air-tight cabinets house pottery and fi re-proof cabinets house archeological fi les ranging from logs to maps to photos. “We micro fi lm these as the budget allows,” Young said. Other narrow shelves in low cabinets hold everything from intricate shell jewelry, like a bracelet made from clam shells, to a bag of burnt corn. “A lot of the things that are in the boxes we don’t put on display because who wants to see a bag of dirt,” Young said. “We try to create displays that are collection-driven that people will have an interest in and we’re mostly guided by where the really interesting research is being done.” Preserving that dirt, however, can be important. As technology gets better, the knowledge that can be gained about the world at that point in history increases. Things like the bag of burnt corn serve their purpose, too, like a window into challenges to the Hohokam’s food supply, and can even offer genetic information about the plant. The storage room isn’t without its knick knacks. Among the prehistoric artifacts are items from historical archaeological digs, including old bottles and a pieced-together chamber pot. “I always love bringing people back here and showing everything off,” Young said. General admission prices apply to the tours: $6 for adults; $5 for seniors 55 and older; $3 for children ages 6-17; and free to children 5 and younger.
