Susan, We've been able to rig up a very serviceable, professional looking scale using a word processor (WordPerfect) and a laser printer - you have to get a little tricky about using the basic graphics production capabilities that they all have these days, especially in figuring out how to switch between English and metric and lining everything up, but it works. I just shot about five rolls of artifact photos yesterday with the set we made a couple of years ago this way. Good luck Larry McKee PS I vote we permanently move the SHA conference to Barbados every year, and hire Dan Mouer as the full time on site coordinator down there!
