Subject: Survey on storing mammoth molars
I am currently undertaking my final year of towards completion of a Masters degree in Arts Conversation at Queen's University, Kingston Ontario. As a requirement for this, I am conducting research examining the effect of relative humidity on mammoth molars. In conjunction with the experimental for this research (exposing molars to controlled environments to measure change) I am undertaking a short survey of the current storage practices for mammoth molars. All responses will be strictly confidential, with participating institutions named only in the acknowledgements of the completed paper and only if so requested. This survey will in no way single out any responses, but will rather provide an overview of current storage practices. This will in turn provide relevance for the experimental of the research and possibly allow for the formulation of storage recommendations. The completed research will be available from Queen's University in the course of 2015-2016. If you house mammoth molars, your responses would be very appreciated. The survey comprising 10 questions may be found at <URL:https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2RG5QW5> Danny Doyle Queen's University Kingston, Ontario Canada *** Conservation DistList Instance 28:36 Distributed: Friday, February 20, 2015 Message Id: cdl-28-36-014 ***Received on Wednesday, 18 February, 2015
