A prerequisite for a successful outcome of the applied analyses is a well-thought-out and executed sampling strategy. How and where the sample material is collected depends on factors such as:
Research questions
Analysis method
Taphonomy
Topography
Technical possibilities/limitations
MAL can offer sampling and field consultation, before or during ongoing investigations. Even if we are not always able to visit the site of the investigation, we are happy to help you develop a sampling strategy via email or phone.
