Well said, Shante! Around here (NE Oklahoma) we see our Elders dying alone and all their memories and cultural possessions vanishing with them. As these Elders leave us, they leave a cultural gap that would fill much of the information sought by modelers.

I agree about scanning, however. Our local University (just retired from there) has a single, large bed scanner but it is so old that they use it more for storage than actual scanning. What needs to be done is for someone, somewhere, with far deeper pockets than we have, to pull together donations and collections, do the full scale scans with an established overlay grid, and make that data available to the public.

We can dream, can't we?
