Ultimately the discovery would be reported to the inspector. The inspector should go to the discovery location and determine that the Artifact is not part of a larger deposit. If the inspector is satisfied that other Artifacts will not be found in the location, the Artifact should be removed from the area and work continued. If the inspector cannot make the determination, an archaeologist should examine the area and make appropriate recommendations. If a major archaeological site is found, it will be apparent to all that an important discovery has been made.
More subtle deposits require professional evaluation to determine their importance.
Identity of the finder. Identity of the inspector or other responsible individual to whom the Artifact is given. Description of the location where the Artifact was found. Approximate distance and direction to nearest measured point, i.e. identification of a point on the building plans. Description of the Artifact that will allow it to be identified if the tag and Artifact are separated.
