Romanian term or phrase: prelevare
O metodă de prelevare şi restaurare a pieselor arheologice din fier

Una dintre problemele pe care arheologul sau restauratorul le poate întâlni în cadrul şantierului arheologic constă din prelevarea pieselor din fier. Datorită proprietăţilor fizico-chimice şi a acţiunii solului, obiectele confecţionate din fier se pot găsi într-o stare avansată de degradare care impune măsuri suplimentare de prelevare, transport şi restaurare

Reference information:
SAMPLING b. A small portion, piece, or segment selected as a sample.

PRELEVÁ vb. tr. a extrage, a detaşa dintr-o cantitate totală, dintr-un ansamblu. ♢ a recolta un eşantion de ţesut, lichid organic etc. spre a fi studiat. (< fr. prélever)

http://fr.thefreedictionary.com/prélever

prélever [pʀelve] vt [+ échantillon] → to take;
prélever (sur) [+ argent] → to deduct (from): (sur son compte) → to withdraw (from)


"An archeologist may sample the site, or do a controlled dig—an excavation that keeps the relation of all objects found in context"


Besides artifacts, archeologists may take sediment samples from a site back to the laboratory for fine-screening. This allows recovery of artifacts that typical field-screening techniques would miss. For example, sediments may provide microscopic pollen grains that will aid paleoclimatic reconstructions. Material from ancient hearths may contain seeds, hulls, and small animal bones that help archeologists decipher the diet of that site's occupants. Charcoal samples can be retrieved for age dating in the laboratory using carbon-14 (radiocarbon), for example.

Cum se preleveaza ceramica si ce anume si/sau cat e o intreaga
parte destul de laborioasa care are treaba cu intrebarea arheologica.
Daca suntem interesati de tratamentele exterioare ale vasului vom
curata superficial de pamant stratul exterior si vom poliza 1 -2 mm
din stratul exterior pentru analiza. la fel in interior . Pentru a
face diferenta iarasi intre matrice (pamant) reziduul organic efectiv
vor trebui analizate separat. Atunci cand diverse cioburi prelevate
din diverse locuri din aceeasi sapatura sunt toate aruncate in
acelasi sac si trimise in laborator pentru analize cromatografice
riscul contaminarilor incrucisate creste semnificativ prin contact
mecanic.
