CURATION

What We Do

Each state has its own set of curation guidelines that must be abided by before an archaeological assemblage will be accepted at state museums or long-term storage facilities. These considerations often include specifics about how artifacts are labeled with provenience information, how they are packaged, and which methods of packaging are acceptable.

Our Team

AECOM’s NE/SE Cultural Resources laboratory staff is well versed in understanding and adhering to each state’s guidelines. Additionally, our staff is undertaking a massive collections management project that includes setting up our own facility to meet Pennsylvania’s standards for long-term material culture storage. We are also developing a barcoding system to individually track artifact boxes, bags, and single artifacts, as needed.
