Abstract
Sampling historical-cultural artefacts from museums and excavation sites is a delicate and critical phase in archaeological research and the conservation of cultural heritage. This process, essential for generating scientific data, must follow established scientific principles as well as pertinent ethical guidelines in the field. Adhering to these principles is crucial to prevent damage to the artefacts and preserve their cultural and historical significance. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, this study systematically examines the scientific and ethical challenges involved in this process, utilising library resources and the authors’ field experiences. The findings revealed that ethical and optimal sampling of historical-cultural artefacts requires the integration of three key dimensions: 1) Technical dimension, involving the selection of minimally invasive, high-precision methods and the development of standardised protocols for sampling; 2) Ethical dimension, encompassing adherence to the five core principles of minimum intervention, scientific justification, transparency, accountability, and respect for stakeholders’ rights; and 3) Managerial dimension, which includes establishing controlled sample repositories. These findings underscore the necessity of formulating national scientific and ethical sampling guidelines. Furthermore, they demonstrate how implementing such a framework can safeguard artefacts from physical damage, enhance the purposefulness and accuracy of sampling, prevent resource waste, reduce the frequency of sampling through improved access to collected data (via sample databases), and most importantly, ensure the satisfaction of current and future stakeholders.
