Those in the archaeology field often specify and use many of the items featured here. While galvanized hardware cloth remains very versatile and popular, Darby offers a handful of heavier duty galvanized wire mesh specifications that are often required for more intense separation purposes.

Plain steel offers high strength at a low cost and is popular in select archaeological applications. Galvanized hardware cloth is also a versatile option for archaeological use and similar applications.
