LOL! I have this image of you using a (trash) compactor on your archeological collections. My graduate professor in archeology used to suggest he was going to run oddball sherds through a blender. On the topic, in December 1997 we installed a fairly large system of compacting shelving to hold our archeological collections. It works fine. We bid this project out competitively, and selected Space Savers over several other vendors. Please feel free to contact me off-list if you have specific questions.
