[Nhcoll-l] Archaeological malaco problems

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Laura,
dear all,

in the recent past we had several request regarding the treatment of 
material from archaeological sites. Because the treatment and storage of 
and research on those objects sometimes may be slightly different from 
"normal" zoological or botanical objects, it might be worth to consider 
postings to the specific ZOOARCH mailing list in such specific cases as 
well.

Laura, if you would like to have your question forwarded to the ZOOARCH 
listserver, please email.

Of course this is no direct answer to your question, but maybe a helpful 
one.

All the best
Dirk
