Video camera? You're kidding, right? Look, here's what you do: take the sherds out of the ground. Put them all in a basket. Take them indoors. Clean them off. Spread them out on a table and put them back together. Proven effective by centuries of experience on millions of pots from all over the world. No competent potmender will need each fragment individually labeled, much less plotted on a computer. Hi-tech is not always the answer. Received: 26-Oct-1994 10:06am
