#Standards and procedures for the creation, selection, management, compilation and transfer of the archive must be agreed and documented in the design of every archaeological project and understood by all project personnel.
#Ensuring the security and stability of the archive is a continuous process and a universal responsibility.
#The entire archive must be compiled in a way that preserves relationships between each element and facilitates access to all parts in the future.
#An archaeological project is not completed until the archive has been transferred to a recognised repository and is fully accessible for consultation.
\\
\\
!!4) RESPONSIBILITY
\\
The manager of an archaeological project has responsibility for ensuring that the archive is created and compiled to the standards described in this document.
\\
Every person involved in an archaeological project has a duty of care towards the archive and must make sure that it is created and compiled to recognised standards, using consistent methods, and it is not at unnecessary risk of damage or loss.
\\
Once the archive has been transferred it is the responsibility of the receiving repository to ensure that the archive is stored to recognised standards for long-term preservation, documented according to accepted internal procedures and made accessible for consultation.
\\
\\
!!5) STANDARDS FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARCHIVES
\\
These standards are intended to apply to all parts of the archive and all stages of the archaeological process, from planning to curation of the end product.
\\
!General standards
#All archive items must at all times be treated carefully and handled, packed and stored in conditions that minimise the risks of damage, deterioration, loss or theft.
#All archive items must be marked or labelled with an identifier related to the archaeological project and/or the accession code used by the repository.
#The archive must be organised in such a way as to preserve the contextual relationship between the documentary and the material (finds) archive elements.
#Selection criteria and procedures must be fully documented and included in the project archive.
#Long-term storage must be conducive to preservation, security and accessibility.
\\
!Specific standards
\\
!The documentary archive
#All types of record must be created according to consistent, accepted standards in content, format and file naming and use recognised terminology.
#Recognised stable materials or media must be used when creating analogue written or visual records.
#All original records, including those born digital, must be considered for inclusion in the archive.
