[Nhcoll-l] Osteological samples ID

[Sergio Montagud]

We began now with the labeling and registration of the osteological collections. Mainly, we have skulls and total skeletons, but a few part are small bones or teeths.
We need to identify these samples with a number code, as for all collections, but we have a doubt if is better to add a label with a cord or write directly (with a permanent pen) the ID number. The first option seems "cleaner", but a lot of pieces are small to find a proper label and is difficult to insert the cord. Furthermore, the label is annoying for exhibition samples and is danger to keep out the label in these specimens...

What kind of label system do you use for your osteological collections?

Thanks in advance!!!!


Sergio
