I have a query concerning the labeling of artifacts.  Has anyone considered
using laser printed numbers on acid free avery labels?  These labels could then
be afixed to the artifact and possibly sealed with clear coat.  I have heard of
this process being used but I have not heard what the durability of this
process is.  Does anyone have any opinions concerning this type of artifact
labeling?  How do the conservationists feel about this method?
 
Also, I am still looking for any archaeological references for privies.
Preferably references that may be more obscure, ie CRM reports.  My previous
queries last year gave the more obvious references.  A friend of mine is
particularly interested faunal studies from privies.
 
Sorry for no subject heading, I am still not very swift with this e-mail stuff.
