Contact for Per Hour Fee Scale
Rattlesnake Master will work with you to maximize data based on your budget and needs. Macrobotanical analysis fees can be based in either per sample weight (if known), or at a per hour fee rate. Hourly fee rates often work best for legacy collections in need of assessment of research viability, curation rehabilitation, and analysis, as well as grant funded contracts. Please contact me to discuss per hour fee rates, as these are sliding scale to accommodate the needs of non-profit organizations and historically underfunded Tribal agencies.
