Brief Project or Site Description
*
We'd love to know a little more about the project or site. Write as little or as much as you want!
Context Nomenclature
Do you have feature numbers (e.g. F234, Feature 9) or descriptions of your provenance (e.g. Rubbish Pit, Fill)? If that data is available, please enter it here so we know what to look out for.
Approximately how many finds, objects, bags or pieces are there?
Which tests or analysis were you thinking?
Leave blank if you answered no.
What level of analysis were you looking for?
*
Basic inventory. I just need the information collected and collated so I can interpret it.
Technical analysis. I want the basic inventory and additional data related to time period analysis and typology.
Materials composition. I want as much information as you can get from the materials, including the basic inventory and technical analysis.
Condition. I'd like you to identify the condition of the items so I can understand the level of deterioration.
Conservation. I'd like you to identify if any of the items need stabilisation to be further studied.
I'm not sure yet. Contact me to find out.
What is your preference of data that will be collected? An example of a very basic inventory is visible at this link: shorturl.at/cdsR6
*
In other words, what kinds of information do you collect for your data analysis? We can conform to your system or software and any data can be collected and separated as desired for analysis.
How do you prefer your digital images organised?
*
By context.
By material type.
I'm not sure. Let's chat about it.
How do you like your measurements?
*
We always use exact dimensions, but you may have a different system. Let us know here.
Really specific.
Really specific and broken down by feature. (e.g. Bottle: the overall measurements will be collected including the body vs. neck vs. lip).
General dimensions are fine.
I'm not sure. Let's chat about it.
What kind of packaging would you like for the finds to go back into after processing?
*
Cheap as chips! As little as possible.
Reuseable. I want to be environmentally friendly and reuse packaging that has been used before but is still safe to reuse.
Sustainable. I want my environmental impact to be as limited as possible and prefer to use materials that are sustainable.
I'm not sure. Let's chat about it!
Museum quality. I'd like archival products with custom packaging where necessary.
No matter which level of processing you choose, we will deliver the following: a) brief report with a summary of the collection, b) material type counts and summary, c) inventory. Do you have any other information you would like us to include?
