Packing Instructions:
A particularly good method of packing plaster-encased archaeomagnetic samples is to tape the sample cubes into a solid block. This prevents them from becoming loose and knocking against one another.
Please wrap the cube block in a paper towel or tissue prior to taping. This keeps the tape from sticking to the plaster and prevents removal of scribed information.
The taped set should then be placed securely in a box or sack and packed in a mailing box. The U.S. Postal Service, UPS, and Fed-Ex seem to do equally well in getting the package here in reasonable shape.
