Storing Roman fresco fragments

The following is posted on behalf of Hannah Fluck, Archaeologist.

    The fragments of an estimated 90% of the ceiling plaster of a
    room approximately 3m x 2m and 5-6cm thick have been inexpertly
    stored--unsorted--in boxes.  They are in good condition but
    there is no plan to assemble them for mounting at present.  They
    are to be consigned to museum storage and I would like to hear
    from anyone who can advise on the storage of this kind of
    material.
