Archival Standards and Practices in Archaeology

This study aims to understand how archaeologists keep records of their discoveries and artifacts. The goal is to discover the best ways to teach archaeologists about organizing and saving information relevant to their excavations. The study considers examples from the past and present and will rely on discussions with specialists and the analysis of the "Work Digital / Think Archive" guidebook made jointly by DigVentures and the Archaeological Archives Forum. The goal is to spread the word about the efforts happening now to set up the best frameworks and workflows for archaeologists to handle their digital data and create intentional standards for preserving their findings.
