One numbering system, condition notes, a box plan, and photographs. Duplicate numbers from earlier crews are reconciled against the field books. The store should be able to find a lot without unpacking the shelf.
A store that cannot find a lot does not have a collection. It has a pile. We bring mixed seasons to one numbering system, write condition notes, photograph what the shelf needs, and draw a box plan. Duplicate numbers from earlier crews are reconciled against the field books — they are not given a new number and forgotten. The named repository should be able to locate a bag without opening the crate.
Existing catalogs, field numbers, and what the store already claims to hold. Duplicates are listed before anything is relabelled.
One system. Condition. Photographs. A box plan that matches the physical shelf.
The registrar should find a lot from the list without unpacking. If they cannot, the recatalog is not finished.
A first note does not need a full brief. This is enough to start a scope.
Said here so it does not have to be discovered on the trench.
Regional places only. Site numbers stay in the project file.
Yes. Labs and stores send mixed files. We reconcile against the original books. If the books are missing, we say what cannot be reconstructed.
The license, the landowner, and the repository agreement — not Archaeonest. We pack and number so the named store can take the boxes.
Site or district, what you already know, and a deadline. We reply by email from Jerusalem.
