[Nhcoll-l] no-data archaeological material

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Deborah,

the Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte in Halle (famous for the Nebra Sky 
disc; 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.lda-2Dlsa.de_en_state-5Fmuseum-5Fof-5Fprehistory_permanent-5Fexhibition_&d=DwID-g&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=96btYn93-UcnXarD2IHMQW2DW1R7qjrJc696CWBJH9o&s=Nd8o23VdsooJcH6kljQWqceWi8j75HT94znmX6OPQlc&e= ) 
added a very impressive time-line of the early industrial revolution of 
stone tools by showing their evolution and running them continuously 
through two rooms (including a break in the wall between those two 
rooms). Some were registered, some not.

They really have a cool & clever exhibition concept; besides the stone 
tool-revolution, in the atrium a massive attack of arrows (hanging in 
the atrium) points to visitors ascending the stairs.

  Maybe your objects would be suited for a similar purpose?
Dirk
