Unit Commentary

This unit is for archaeologists who are responsible for providing information to others from their organisation's archives, catalogues and index systems. To maintain an effective service to customers, it is necessary to operate a system that allows the prompt identification and retrieval of data requested. This unit covers the organisation and presentation of stored data to facilitate self-access by customers, control of use and maintenance of archives to retain their integrity and currency, and the compilation, collation and presentation of data on behalf of customers.
