Michael K. Trimble, Army Corps of Engineers, requests any and all information relating to costs associated with the processing and long-term care of archaeological collections. The Department of Defense has requested that the St. Louis District perform a cost-benefit analysis (stop screaming, please) so that they may evaluate taking responsibility of the collections in their care (used loosely). Mary Case, if you have any new ideas, please let me know. As tedious as this may be, this will be the only way we can convince the DoD to do the right thing. Consider an answer to this question a curation peace dividend! Michael K. Trimble U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District (314) 331-8466
