Dear Zooarchers, Does anyone know how to contact Michael Ryder. Kate Hunter at Newport Museum has 1000 metres of timber with caulking from the Newport Ship which contains a fibre. Under SEM this looks like very fine wool possibly Merino. BBC timewatch making a program on this are willing to pay for species identification, Kate feels Micheal would be the best chap but does not know how to contact him. So could someone ask him to contact Kate Micheal or send his details to Kate at the following email [log in to unmask] Thanks jacqui
