Dear Christopher, If your material is from the ocean or a similarly saline environment the following might be useful: Information and references relating to human remains on shipwrecks can be found here: http://www.shipwreck.net/pdf/OMEPaper11-HumanRemainsfoundonVictory_000.pdf Not online but useful if you can get a copy is: For Future Generations: Conservation of a Tudor Maritime Collection, Mary Rose Volume Five - it can be purchased from Oxbow here: http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/36144//Location/Oxbow It describes treatment and conservation of waterlogged bones: 'A huge range of objects were recovered from the ship, including wood, textiles, leather, ceramics, glass, stone, metals, rope, pieces of sail-cloth, and many hundreds of animal and human bones. Almost all objects required some kind of treatment to halt the effects of 450 years of immersion in saltwater. This volume explains the conservation methods used for the treatment and preservation of each major category of material'. Good luck, Peter 2010/10/12 "Christopher M.
