Since it will be the day before my 40th, I would say a drink is mandatory.

Super

Might fit in a swift beverage after unless you are on tight schedule?

Hello Nobs

We (folks in London with help of IfA london and the LAARC) are holding a workshop on just this topic on 14th Novemeber at the LAARC.

I'm taking notes in the animal bone session - but it would be great to have some more curator type people there (plus you are still a Zooarch underneath as it were).

I will send a less chatty version of this around ZOOARCH.

Details of workshop attached - I do hope you can make it.

Dear All

Like much of the country, museums here in Sussex are suffering from an acute lack of storage space. In an attempt to alleviate this problem Sussex Museums Group (in consultation with the planning authority, local specialists and commercial units) is keen to limit the volume of material that is entering museum stores from developer-funded excavations. We are facing the prospect of making some very difficult decisions and I do not ask the following question lightly:

What animal bone from developer-funded excavations could justifiably be disposed of following analysis, rather than being deposited at a museum?

Of course we understand that the answer is not as simple as the question, but we hope to synthesise specialist opinion into some guidance that can be rolled out across the county. Sadly, keeping everything is not an option at this stage.

All the best
Rob
