Effective sampling and disposal strategies can save time, reduce curation costs, and help preserve valuable repository space while maintaining regulatory compliance. Learn how thoughtful sampling and disposal strategies can streamline archaeological projects, reduce curation burdens, and ensure compliance with Texas Antiquities Code requirements. This session covers planning, documentation, approval processes, and practical guidance for managing collections from fieldwork through final curation. Participants will also examine the growing challenge of defining what is truly "modern" and why seemingly recent materials may warrant collection and preservation as part of the archaeological record, helping ensure that future researchers are not left with gaps in our understanding of the recent past.
