|Data-gathering|Pack finds to ensure that finds from different contexts are kept together, and to protect against loss or damage: a/ bulk finds of the same material type, from the same context, may be packed together in stable paper or polythene bags of suitable weight; b/ mark all bags on the outside with site and context identifiers and the material type, and include a polyethylene label marked with the same information. It may not be possible to mark some polythene bags, in which case they must contain two marked polyethylene labels; c/ use permanent ink on bags and labels; d/ bulk finds may be boxed together, but it is inadvisable to place heavy and delicate objects together in the same box; e/ sensitive finds must be packed individually in bags or boxes marked with the site identifier, context number and/or find number, and if appropriate the repository accession number; f/ sensitive finds must be supported, where appropriate, on inert plastic foam or acid-free tissue paper, designed to prevent movement within the box. It is not advisable to wrap objects in tissue because the act of unwrapping could cause damage; g/fragile finds, or those that are not marked or have a tie-on label, must be packed to be visible without removal from their container.|
|Data-gathering|Specimen finds, e.g. those used for analysis, must be packed in containers marked with site and context identifiers. A note detailing the removal of the specimen must be attached to or inserted into the container of finds from which the specimen was extracted.|
|Data-gathering|Human remains must be treated with respect, in accordance with national guidelines. Human skeletal remains must be marked. Apply protocols for the storage, management and examination of human remains that recognise their sensitivity.|
|Data-gathering|Conservation work, including cleaning sensitive finds, must be carried out by accredited conservators.|
|Data-gathering|All finds must be sorted and classified according to accepted systems of terminology, of both material types and object types.|
|Data-gathering|Primary recording must facilitate an understanding of the character and extent of the assemblage. Initial finds records must identify material and object types, and quantify each type as appropriate, preferably by two measures, normally weight and fragment count.|
|Data-gathering|Most metal objects must be recorded by x-radiography. Exceptions include: a/ lead alloys or copper alloys with a high lead content; b/ objects too thick to be x-rayed effectively; c/ objects, such as modern finds, for which x-rays will add no useful information; d/ finds of no archaeological significance, e.g. unstratified; e/ every example of a large homogenous assemblage, e.g. nails.|
|Data-gathering|All finds must, at all times, be stored in conditions that minimise the risks of damage, deterioration, loss or theft.|
|Data-gathering|Transfer of finds from one location to another must be undertaken with due care and attention, and must be fully documented.|
|Analysis and Report writing (The analysis and interpretation phases relevant to the material archive include specialist study, detailed conservation and scientific analysis)| |
