Subject: Curation of textile fragments from archaeological sites


> Hello all,
>
> We have some small cloth fragments and leather shoe parts that were
> excavated from an early historic archaeological site in Iowa. Because of
> our climate we do not often recover textiles from sites, and we are unsure
> of the best method of permanent curation for these items.  For now, the
> shoe parts are temporarily stored in our standard 4mm plastic artifact
bags
> and the cloth fragments are in botanical jars.  I am researching various
> curation sources, but any suggestions from listers would be greatly
> appreciated.
