Replication of architectural antiquities using polymeric materials

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6312389
In support of the University of New Mexico's Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, a number of volunteers undertook the replication of Chaco Canyon masonry. Composite rubber latex and glass fabric molds were developed and a series of molds fabricated directly on the Chaco structures. From these, a set of fiberglass epoxy models was constructed depicting about 200 ft/sup 2/ of various masonry styles, and doorway and kiva niche features.
