You might also want to contact Herb Maschner at Idaho State University.
Their "Idaho Virtualization Laboratory"
(vl.imnh.isu.edu/Library/index.htm) has been engaged in 3D scanning of
faunal material for some time. They are now launching a parallel
project to scan artifact collections.

Gaye -
You should get in touch with Bernard Means from Virginia Commonwealth
University. He has recently acquired a 3-D scanner and has some good
observations after using it for awhile. The work he has been doing with
it is very impressive. He is probably on this list, but if not he can
be reached at [log in to unmask]
