Greetings,
We recently have a problem with materials washed by the field crew and
not given sufficient time to dry before being rebagged. By the time
most of the materials reached the main lab, they had grown mold.
We do not want to introduce mold spores into the storage facility in
which these materials will permanently reside. Our object
conservator, who has worked with many archaeological collections, has
suggested an ethanol and water solution which will kill the mold
spores; however, the project archaeologist has concerns that the use
of this solution could cause problems with future analysis of the
animal bone. Is anyone on the list familiar with a known analytical
procedure for which the use of an ethanol solution could cause
problems? If so, would you please contact me off list with the
information.
Thanking you,
Gail Frace
