And then there's the issue of adequate air circulation around the faunal comparative collection ....

Whew.

Subject: Fume hoods in archaeology laboratories

Hello Listers - 



I am looking for experiences, anecdotes, opinions about the necessity of
a fume hood in an archaeology laboratory setup. The laboratory in
question will have a general exhaust fan as well as Nederman extraction
trunks for targeted fume removal. A fume hood is also planned, but I'm
beginning to think it may be redundant. Some conservation entailing the
use of chemicals will occur in the laboratory, but that is not the
primary purpose/intended use of the space. (The lab supports a resource
management and research-based government archaeology program.)  



Thanks for your consideration -
