copper alloy artifacts from Chanhu Daro in the Indus Valley,
Harappan civilization (c.2500-1900 BCE).  The project includes

in the fabrication of these artifacts. Opportunities will also be
presented to work on additional projects in the objects conservation
laboratory.  The Fellow will work primarily with Pamela Hatchfield,
Head of Objects Conservation, and Richard Newman, Head of Scientific
Research.

The stipend offered is $25,000, with a generous benefits and travel
