Label Tape - Tags are used to display artifact numbers, which serve as a means by which to place artifacts within their site- specific archaeological contexts. They also aid in the tracking of individual artifacts during their conservation procedures. Dymo label makers are used to replace destroyed artifact tags, as well as to create new tags in instances where the conservation process reveals the presence of new artifacts not previously recorded.

Flexible Shaft Fiberscope - The flexible fiberscope donated by Everest Imaging enables the conservator to critically examine the interior of concretion molds, cannon barrels, and other hard-to-reach locations. The fiberscope also aids the conservator in determining whether or not the interior void of a concretion mold is sufficiently clean of corrosion debris, for epoxy casting to be optimally effective. The fiberscope has its own light source, and coupled with a camera and mounting adapter, enables the conservator to photograph the interior images prior to casting.
