[Histonet] techniques for archaeological bone

[Louise Renton]

Hi all...

Had someone in here who is interested in sectioning old bones - any ideas
as to what would be the best embedding medium? These are bones from a
graveyard more than 100 years old - not fossils.

Decal is out of the question - so it would have to be a resin of some sort.
Tips, ideas, contacts  and methods would be very welcome at this stage
