All,

Is there a standard citation formula when publishing articles about
artifacts?  In other words, when one uses a photograph of an artifact in an
article, what information should be included in the caption?  Artifact name,
where artifact was collected, material, date, museum collection where
presently located, accession #?

Should any or all of the above information be included?  Is there a standard
order, like in bibliographic citations and footnotes?

Best,
