We have found some plaster in one of our convict-period
buildings which has hair in it as a binding agent. It is very fine and appears

convicts and soldiers had regular haircuts. Does anyone know if we can have it
analysed to find out about diet and disease - and maybe other things? Who
does such work, preferably in
Manager,
