erger's Cultural Resource Group has processed, analyzed, inventoried and curated more than six million individual artifacts. To complete the volume of artifact studies and reports required to meet demanding state and federal requirements, the Berger Group has developed highly sophisticated techniques and methodologies, from fieldwork through laboratory analysis, to ensure that materials are properly documented and cataloged, archivally stable and organized in accordance with the standards and guidelines of the receiving repository upon final disposition.
Since most museums and repositories receiving collections generally have limited funds for conservation, the Berger Group also established a conservation laboratory, supported by a large full-time staff of specialists in glass, flora/fauna, prehistoric lithics and ceramics, osteological materials and small finds (e.g., coins, jewelry). The laboratory is capable of providing comprehensive prehistoric and historic artifact and floral/faunal analyses as well as conservation treatment of materials from both wet and dry sites.
Berger has developed a state-of-the-art coding system for historical artifacts, which is a result of our years of experience in refining the various information needs of our clients. Currently in print and available for purchase, our coding system has been made available to archaeologists, consulting firms, universities and government agencies in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, England, Australia and Jamaica.
