Challenges in the Description of in situ Fragments

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Since 2021, the team of the Ticinensia disiecta project has entered into the Fragmentarium platform more than 110 descriptions of in situ fragments. The fieldwork, carried out in part in a pioneering manner, has led to some reflections that we would like to share with the community of editors and projects working on the database, as well as with fragment researchers more broadly, in the hope of provoking a fruitful exchange of experiences. Specifically, working with in situ fragments has revealed challenges related to using the Fragmentarium description module for describing host volumes, assigning shelfmarks to fragments still present in a carrier, and documenting that carrier with photographs. In each of these areas, however, we envision some possible solutions.
