Judy,
I've gotten rolls and boxes of K&E graph paper from ARCHMAT, equipment &
supplies clearinghouse for archaeology. Call Doug Dickinson at
603-429-1300 (18 Beech Street, Merrimack NH). He has all kinds of stuff
that archaeologists use in the field and in the lab, will sell you whole
rolls of paper, plastic, whatever, or just how many feet you need!
Several people in our department use his service as it is so convenient to
do "one-stop shopping" (nearly) for field projects!
I've gotten metric ruled, of course, but he has a selection, including the
types that aren't up to global standards, which historical archaeologists
insist on using out of a fear of metric more than anything else! Claiming
that feet & tenths or feet and inches conform to colonial measurement
systems is all a lot of wind, as anyone who's spent hours converting deed &
plat data from rods, poles, & perches and other arcane measurement systems
knows. And this silly claim usually comes from people who wouldn't give
the time of day to an "emic" anything even if it bit them in the
hindquarters! Change am scary.
Cheers,
Mary B.
