Archaeological Repository

An archaeological repository is a designated facility where artifacts, fossils, and archaeological materials are stored, preserved, and managed after excavation. These repositories ensure the proper conservation, documentation, and accessibility of cultural heritage items for research, study, and public education. They may include storage rooms, laboratories, and cataloging systems to maintain organization and protect the items from damage. Ultimately, repositories serve as vital centers for safeguarding historical material, allowing scholars and the public to learn about past societies and cultural histories.
