March 2018: Back to Basics! ACZ Processing Workshop
Wash and Dry. Label Bones. Inventory. Integrate into the Synoptic Collection. Have a Lunch. Network.
The 2018 ACZ Workshop was a stunning success! Nineteen ACZ Volunteers showed up and clocked in more than 76 man-hours. Seven skeletons were processed (cleaned). Each bone from eight different animals were labeled. Ten skeletons were integrated into the ACZ synoptic collection. On top of all that, we accessioned 35 new animals into the collection. Big ups to Bob Sattler for his generous donation of 27 skeletons!!
Thank you, 2018 volunteers. You’ve each made a valuable contribution that will benefit archaeological research and education in Alaska for many years to come. Especially Liz Ortiz, Diane Hanson, Monty Rogers, Travis Shinabarger, and Kelly Eldridge for your time planning, organizing, cleaning up, and assisting everyone.
