The ARCHH Team Needs Your Help!
We are in need of space near the Hobkirk's Hill/Camden, SC area that is
secure and can be used for an artifact conservation lab and a temporary storage
space. We are also in need of the following materials:
- Large graph paper for mapping
- Metric 5-meter field tapes for all technicians
- Notebooks for all field technicians (important for documentation)
- Sharpies
- A large clipboard (fitting the large graph paper)
- An accurate laboratory scale [such as an O-Haus CS 200 scale]
- A digital caliper (used in analyzing artifacts)
- Picture hanging wire (stainless steel, single strand)
- About 5 2-gallon plastic tubs
- 1 box of Arm &Hammer detergent booster
If you are interested in helping in these areas or elsewhere with the ARCHH project
