Back To Basics! ACZ Processing Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska, 2018
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.
