Abstract

The workflows examined are representative of operational workflows around data assessment and data removal that are common to all data repositories, as well as specific strategies of dealing with Microsoft Access Databases, a commonly deposited file format used by archaeologists for assessment and analysis. The paper will present each workflow as a succinct case study with an emphasis on why the decisions have been made to follow a certain method. This will be followed by a discussion on similarities and differences in approach and implementation so as to bring together core recommendations that can be used by others currently building or scoping the development of new digital repositories in the archaeological sector. The paper will link out to copies of the detailed workflows and policies to be deposited within COPTR, a finding aid for helping find tools to deal with practical data management issues.
