Daniel, who are you doing this book for? It would have been a nice
AltaMira project.

Advice? Lots and lots of checklists, examples, written in 1st and 2nd
person, and brief. A glossary. A resource guide at the end. Look at one of
our dozens of guides like this for some examles.

> Hello all:
>
> I have been asked to help compose a short primer for museums which might
> encounter archeological resources in their collections or on their
> properties.  The focus is on creating a brief guide to help museums which
> do not have professional archaeological help readily at hand.  A list of
> key points, what to do, what not to do, and whom to turn to.
>
> Being an archaeologist as well as a museum professional, I have a pretty
> good outline for the primer, but I hope others on the list can share with
> me some of their tips or suggestions, or perhaps even their primers they
> have compiled or used!

> Thanks!
