Hello all-

I’ve started a blog for waterlogged basketry materials located at: www.waterloggedbasketry.blogspot.com and would appreciate your input.   Some of the research I have done over the past few years is represented here included a table of conservation information regarding wet sites in the NW that contained waterlogged basketry material, cross sections of fresh and degraded materials etc.

This is, of course, a work in progress.  As I have been pulling together the research and testing projects completed over the past few years I began to feel the desire to share some of my thoughts and find another way to learn from other peoples experiences.  I would like this to become a sharing space for those thinking about some of the issues related to conservation of waterlogged basketry materials.

I have not yet put the testing results up on the blog-  however, some of the summaries of those tests may make it there as I try to explain my new thoughts and approaches.

Looking forward to your input-

Dana
