I attended a seminar recently where finds and eviro specialists were grappling with these issues when a crisis of storage space came. A policy of "save it all because we don't know what will be important in the future" has become a pragmatic exercise in trying to predict what [u]might</u> be important in the future and binning the rest. As field archaeologists I suspect we have not perhaps been forced to change our "save it all" instincts. I'm not sure about the curatorial side of the profession, but it seems many briefs are standard and very conservative in an arse covering way that is entirely understandable.
