Whiteout for labelling archaeological artifacts

There has been an interesting discussion thread on Museum-L in recent
weeks concerning the use of Whiteout for labelling archaeological
artifacts. The thread is to long to reproduce here--and I assume that
all the conservators on the DistList and anyone involved with
archaeological materials is also reading Museum-l (if you're not you
really ought to), but this thread is of more than specialist interest as
it has evolved into a discussion about the way information is shared
across/between disciplines. Therefore, I suggest that even those without
a particular interest in whiteout and archaeological conservation check
out the Museum-L archives. (Note: there may be a delay before some of
this material finds its way into the archives).

Gopher to gopher.berkeley.edu and select
    Museums/
      Museum of Paleontology/
        Mailing lists
          Museum Listserver Archive
            Search the Museum Listserver Archiver
            (NB Don't select the other option "Museum Listserver
            Archiver", it's a 3.5 megabyte file).

or via WWW at URL:
  gopher://ucmp1.Berkeley.EDU:70/11/MLists/museuml

(Of course you can also reach the archives via CoOL)
