I'd add:

Extensive stock of artifact I.D. books.
Type artifact collections (reproductions?)
Folding rules that have metric on one side and Engineer's scale on the other
(tenths of feet).
Rolls of plastic to cover units.
Those pop-up or easy to assemble pavilions that keep units dry and shaded.
Good quality water sprayers with wheels.
Various scales to use in both field and lab photography.
Munsell and other color charts.
Photo stands and photo bulbs for artifact photos.
Pop-up photo tents to prevent reflection/glare on shiny objects when you're
taking photos, and any other devices that makes artifact photos better and
easier.
Books about taking good artifact photos.
