Dino, I don't understand this. Why wasn't a sampling strategy agreed beforehand? Why don't you implement one before you deposit the archive? Did you consider deposition issues during post-ex assessment? Was the receiving museum involved with the design of the sampling strategy? Did you even ask them if you could deposit beforehand and if you did, did you warn them what the archive might include? You must have had some idea from your evaluations of the site.
