A major problem in collections management is the lack of training about collections in all facets of archaeology. Ignorance about both ethical obligations and practical steps associated with collections is arguably the leading contributor to the ongoing curation crisis. This work summarizes shortcomings in collections training in academia and in cultural resource management, and it proceeds to identify some steps that can be taken to provide training for students and professional archaeologists. The overriding argument is that more training in all aspects of collections is absolutely essential to addressing and beginning to mitigate the overwhelming problems the discipline faces in caring for archaeological collections.

藏品管理的一个主要问题是缺乏考古学各个方面的藏品培训。对与收藏相关的道德义务和实际步骤的无知可以说是造成当前策展危机的主要原因。这项工作总结了学术界藏品培训和文化资源管理方面的缺点，并确定了可以采取的一些步骤，为学生和专业考古学家提供培训。最重要的论点是，在收藏品的各个方面进行更多培训对于解决和开始缓解该学科在保护考古收藏品方面面临的压倒性问题绝对至关重要。
