Equipment & Supplies

As the archaeology labs manager I'm frequently asked about where to buy various archaeological equipment and supplies. This is a partial list of vendors I return to regularly. The list is still under construction, and will be revised periodically to reflect changes in availability of items, and (occasionally) experiences with customer support.
