Hi Dain,

I am a graduate student at UC-Berkeley working with archaeological plant
remains.  I'd be happy to talk with you about how we curate our materials.

Dear List Members:

    I am a graduate student at the University of
Iowa, and I am trying to
find information on the curation of plant remains
from archaeological sites.
I have found references to other types of
archaeological collections in
museums, and to techniques used to preserve modern
plant specimens in
herbarium collections, but not much about
archaeological plant remains.  Most
of these are charred or dessicated materials,
usually extremely fragile, and
sometimes microscopic as well (tiny seeds, etc.)
    Does anyone know where I might find more
information?
Thanks,
        Dain Martinek
