<br>
I am not sure whether you circulated your post on the Zooarch list
also - the mailing list of the archaeozoologist folks, which deal
a lot with animal remains from excavations. Maybe it would be
worth to cross-post your request.<br>
<br>

<br>
here is a link that guides to the curation of archaeozoological
collections:<br>

The guide was prepared in the course of a workshop held at the
Smithsonian; there, you might also find some advice:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Elizabeth Scott. I am the
Natural History & Archaeology Preparator in the
Conservation Department of the Indiana State Museum in
Indianapolis Indiana (USA) and I am in the process of
assessing our preservation and treatment practices (materials
and methodology) for our institution’s collections of
excavated faunal material to ensure that they align with
current standards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our institution’s excavated collections
include archaeological (historic & prehistoric) and
paleontological (primarily Cenozoic) material from general
surface and subsurface soil contexts (e.g., properties,
fields, forests) and specialized contexts (e.g., sink holes,
caves).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current scope of the research is
limited to the conservation and preparation of bone, antler,
horn, teeth & tusk materials (including culturally
modified items).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The primary research relates to materials
and methodology for the preservation (focus on consolidation,
mending and care) of the following four groups of items: 1.
Mega-fauna (e.g., mastodont) bone material, 2. Teeth and tusk
material, 3. Faunal material recovered from a cave context
& 3. Culturally modified faunal material (e.g., tools,
accessories, decoration).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to identify source support
materials related to the primary research, and archaeology,
paleontology, preparator and conservator contacts. I would
like some contacts to discuss our institution’s past and
present materials and methodologies with, and to discuss those
used at their institution and in the field at large.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you and I look forward to hearing
from you soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
