The Smithsonian Institution’s River Basin Surveys (SIRBS) program was one of the most successful archeological salvage programs ever conducted in the United States. The success of the program was directly related to the field excavation and recording standards established early in the programs development. This paper discusses field and laboratory recording, cataloging, measurement systems, and other standards as a contribution to the history of the River Basin Surveys program, and to aid researchers in analyzing or reanalyzing SIRBS collections.Keywords: Smithsonian Institution River Basin Surveysfield and recording standards and procedures
