Setting up archaeological conservation lab in Turkey

I am in the process of preparation to set up an archaeological
conservation laboratory for an archaeological excavation on a rural
site in Caltilar, Southern Turkey for a six week period in the
summer of 2011. This excavation will be a ten year project beginning
in the summer of 2011 and is undertaken jointly by Bristol
University, Liverpool University and the Bursa (Uludag) University
in Turkey.

I am writing for advice on all the factors that are involved in the
setting up of a conservation lab for an archaeological excavation
abroad, such as:

    What conservation material is available in Turkey (ie adhesives,
    solvents, etc.)?

    Suggestions on the most suitable documentation system for an
    archaeological conservation lab

    Any useful contacts in Turkey that may help in the preparation
    and acquiring of resources process
