__Archaeological project__: see definition in Sections 2.1 and 4.1.
__Archive component__: a specific part of the array of items that make up an archaeological archive, usually distinguished by their concomitant archive storage requirements; examples include the finds, written records, graphic images and digital data.

__Artefact__: something manufactured or given shape by a human being, such as a tool or a work of art; archaeological examples include pottery, stone tools, objects made of metal or worked bone, brick and tile. In some countries an artefact is any object whose formal properties and/or position have been intentionally created to support a specific purpose (practical function, social meaning, symbolic significance; cf.

__Born Digital__: data or files originally created in digital form, such as a photograph taken with a digital camera, CAD files and GIS data.
__Collection__: a group of records and/or material objects owned, stored and curated by a single institution for the purposes of future study and enjoyment. Archaeological project archives are understood to be individual components of a collection, which represents a greater, unified resource.
__Compile / compilation__: used here to mean the activity of finally gathering together all archive materials and organizing them in readiness for transfer to a repository.
__Conservation__: used here to mean the procedures of cleaning, stabilising and examining sensitive objects in controlled conditions.
__Context__: a single stratigraphic unit recorded separately in the field; usually the extant structures, cut features and deposits that represent and contain archaeological evidence and finds.
__Context record__: the record of the details (such as location, dimensions, character and stratigraphic relationships) of a context identified during archaeological investigation.
__Curation__: the work of a [curator].
__Curator__: the person who cares for and manages access to a [collection].
