Dr. Alexander Shederizky is one of the leading figures in the field
of archeological amber, he is a lecturer in the NYU & Institute of
Fine Art Conservation Program and he is working as well at the Met.
as chemist conservator. At the moment he is Israel as a guest of the
Chemistry Dept. of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He will
return to NY by the end of May, so I believe you would like to
address your questions to him when he is back home.
