Hi Liz
A few years ago we developed some guidelines, with quite a bit of input from this group. I've attached them here. If you need any clarification, feel free to get in touch.
I've attached the entire document. Animal bone is only a small part. Hopefully the rest of the document will give some context. However, do bear in mind that the document relates specifically to Sussex (although the animal bone section is less regionally specific, I feel).
Cheers
Rob

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Selection strategies for archiving animal bone assemblages
Hi All,
Does anyone know of any selection strategies in current use when there is a need to make a selection for archiving relatively large animal bone assemblages in a museum? We may need to make such a selection for one of our sites, and as I mainly deal with archaeobotany, I'm not sure if this is carried out regularly, and how to go about it.
I will contact the specialist who carried out the work, but I'm just wondering, in advance, whether there are specific standards applied across many museums, or do specialists on this list tend to have specific arrangements with different museums?
Thanks,
Liz
