Have I mentioned I have a background in archaeology? I do. Between that and the fact that I just finished reading an Amelia Peabody mystery (it was The Mummy Case if you're interested), I am finding the 2009 Dig Diary from the Brooklyn Museum especially fascinating. These entries chronicle an ongoing Egyptian dig. I found the most recent entry especially interesting as it discusses the conservation of some small finds - and uses a chemical we sometimes use in collections management, B-72. Go on, take a look!
