CAN STANDARDS BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN
FIELD AND STORAGE PRACTICE
The premise of archaeological storage
The archaeological lsquocyclersquo in Flanders in the last 50 years
Y2K the slow shift to a new paradigm
Theory vs practise paradigm vs field
2013 Can new tools bridge the gap
Outlook
PREMISE
In cases where in-situ preservation is impossible ex-situ preservation is the rule and
has its consequences since excavation is destructive by nature
Repeatable character
Historical Criticism
Even more important public exposure return to funding bodies and individuals
Implications for archaeological cycle (cf ARCHES)
Need for permanent storage facilities
Need for high quality processes procedures datahellip
Need for clear deposition processes (bottleneck)
Archeological depot of Portiva
located in a non desecrated
chapel Mulkkapel Tienen
A Corinthian capital used as
an altar in the church of
Gijzenzele
HISTORY 1
Culture-historical archaeology 1960-rsquo80s
Finds were central (ex amateurs)
For systematic field research universities or government research bodies (NDO) held the monopoly and supposedly had a clear scientific question
Exception short lived BTK project urban archaeologists
Finds
Ownership of finds is no central question
Rather the focus is on the intellectual property of the researcher which could block access to peers and the public for years (lsquoawaiting final publicationrsquo)
Thematic curatorship (ex all flint finds)
Storage situation
Museum storages lsquoreservesrsquo amp personal collections
ldquoStorage facilitiesrdquo do not exist
Lithic collection collected in
the field by J Vieacuterin and
rearranged by Casseyas in the
1990s collection of The
Broelmuseum Kortrijk
HISTORY 2
Roaring nineties the onset of preventive archaeology
1991 IAP

ELEMENTS OF A NEW PARADIGM
2 Introspective archaeological collections in museums
Problems of museum storages detected
Evaluation-project commissioned by the Flemish Community
1999 P Monsieur honest and up to date evaluation today still vivid picture of
several museum storages
General conclusions
Fragmentation on all levels
High material variety in collections decaying collections
Important backlog in registration and preservation
Insufficient awareness
Insufficient means and priority
Monsieur 1999
MUSEUMS ACTED UPON THIS EVALUATION
Start of the ldquodenkgroep archeologische collectiesrdquo
deg 1999 working group
recent results aanvaardingsvoorwaarden selectiematrixhellip
2001 the little orange book
Registration as a first and necessary step for high quality curating of collections
a basis for sharing collection information and allowing for collection mobility
Core standard for archaeological registration in a museum setting
