It is easy enough to deal, even when it is in an advanced stage of decay, with a gar- ment that is open or folded, but when, as in the present case, it has been crunched to a ball or mixed carelessly with several others, and perhaps a sandal or two rolled up into the bundle, the difficulties of dealing with it are enormously increased and only infinite patience and prodigal expenditure of time will enable one to extract from it the details of shupe, size and decora- tion. In an undisturbed tomb the ob- jects will Ife flat, and a reasonable amount of care will suffice to secure the pattern and arrangement. Here nothing lies flat. The bead ornamen- tation of one garment is, by interfold- ing, inextricably mixed with that of another. Collars; necklaces and other pleces of jewelry were bunched and thrust into the corner of a box. One of the most elaborate and important pieces of beadwork was thrown care- lessly upon a pile of irreguarly shaped jars, into the open mouths of which, as the thread disintegrated, large por- tions of it sild.

The recording alone of thousands of objects from the tomb will take more time than one cares to contemplate. that must be added the preserva treatment of the more delic: Work, hundreds of detail photographs required to make the record complete, the packing and the transport of ob- jects to the river.
