- Abstract
- Technical study/conservation report (minus appendices), recorded under MCI project number 6100.3 (2009-2011), providing an overview of research focusing on Precolumbian gold-alloy bead manufacture in Panama and neighboring regions, led by A.C. Harrison, then-fellow at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian [NMAI], working with MCI researchers. Data previously obtained from beads during the 2008-2009 phase (6100.2), were expanded with additional analyses of a selected group of beads from El Caño (group 1), and beads in NMAI's collection from Panama (group 2) and from regions adjacent to Panama for comparative analysis (group 3).

- Abstract
- List of selected beads from El Caño (group 3) and NMAI beads from Panama (group 2), showing analyses undertaken, as part of research on Precolumbian gold-alloy bead manufacture, recorded under MCI project number 6100.3 (2009-2011 phase). Methods include non-destructive techniques - microscopical examination, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), environmental scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) - and, for group 3 beads, metallographic analysis.
