Hi Listers –
I am curious to know how people handle condition reporting
for large archaeological collections (hundreds of thousands to millions of
objects), and especially for large loans of such material. The idea of sampling
makes sense for in-house purposes, such as conservation planning, but would it be
appropriate for loans? Are there other strategies people have employed? Any
advice is welcome. Please feel free to contact me off-list for more information.
Thanks in advance!
