This dissertation approach the restructuring process of the archaeological storage room of the Laboratório de Arqueologia, Sociedades e Culturas das Américas (LASCA), of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), created in 2019, after the merger of the Laboratório de Estudos e Pesquisas Arqueológicas (LEPA) with the Núcleo de Estudos do Patrimônio e Memória (NEP). Such restructuring can be divided into two stages. The first includes the solutions found to revert the critical situation presented by LEPA, which, like many other custody and research institutions in Brazil, presented problems regarding the preservation and communication of its collection. Through a conservation diagnosis, it was possible to determine the main factors of deterioration and define the priority actions: the inventory, cleaning and packaging of the collection stored in a storage room, as well as an environmental monitoring of the space. These actions are seen as the starting point of the restructuring process, which continued with the second stage, encompassing the period after the official creation of LASCA and the transfer of the collection to a new custody site, considered more appropriate from the conservation point of view. In this stage, solutions for environmental control; pest control; control of pollutants; organization and storage of the collection; and the lighting of the rooms were presented, based on references from the Preventive Conservation area and current legislation, taking into account the singularities of the Laboratory and its collection. Finally, an Acquisition and Deaccession Policy was elaborated, seen as complementary to the restructuring of the archeological storage room and essential for an efficient collection management.
