Hello everyone
I will be spending the summer studying a collection of bones from the
Indian southern Neolithic, at Deccan College in Pune, India. Many of
these bones are heavily crusted with hard calcium concretions, making it
impossible to see their surface condition. I am looking for ways to remove
this encrustation without harming the bones themselves. Nerissa Russell
has kindly shared her advice, suggesting the use of a vibrating engraver
to detach the crust. Does anyone else have experience with this problem?
many thanks
Stephanie Meece
