[Cialug] long term storage

[Josh More]

This was actually a serious problem in the early days of Archeology. 
The early archeologists (read, treasure seekers) just shoveled the
tablets into bins and didn't even realize that they had meaning until
much later.  Many were broken beyond readability, many were lost and
since the order wasn't recorded, a lot of the linearity data was lost.

So, to bring it back on topic, be sure that the LABELING of the archival
media is also of archival quality.  (You know, if the archive has to
last longer than the average functional life of a human.)

Your clay tablets could suffer from fragmentation issues, if they're 
dropped during transportation.
