> | The Archaeological Sites Working Group of CIDOC (the International
> Committee
> | for Documentation of the International Council of Museums) is planning to
> | draw up "guidelines for the deposition of archaeological site archives"
> |
> | The aim is that the guidelines should set out minimum acceptable standards
> | and also indicate best practice.  Guidelines which have been agreed on an
> | international basis are being asked for especially by developing countries
> | who host excavations by institutions from a variety of other countries.
> |
> | The guidelines are planned to cover artefacts, and records (both digital
> and
> | analogue).
> |
> | As a first step the Working Group would like to gather examples of
> existing
> | guidelines or standards.  If any list members know of any documents that
> | they think might be useful and would be happy to share I would be grateful
> | to receive a copy (either by email or post or point me in the direction of
> a
> | web site that I can download from).
> |
> | Thanks for your help
