The archaeological conservation's collections, for many years was a little known thematic between the professionals and archaeology courses, even in museum classes, the focus use to be mostly on exhibitions, not providing the information needed for the exercise of curation and management of collections in the field and laboratory. However, the current national scenario has brought urgency to the debates on the subject, given the growing number of collections from academic research and preventive archeology, leaving the technical reserves crowded and often without offering the necessary conditions of guard, the archaeological materials accumulate and degrade with increased velocity. In this context, the dissertation of master degree in Museology, titled "Archaeological Curatorship and Conservation at Rio Grande do Sul: a Survey of Methods", aims to verify, through the action research, the practices of the Musealization of Archeology in museum institutions that safeguard archaeological collections in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, identifying how they have developed the conservative procedures that are being used and if they feel the need to change them, or empower them by not responding to expectations. Thus, was realized questionnaires and participatory observation with the technics responsible for the collections, in order to understand how the choice of applied methodologies has been chosen and, subsequently, a brief diagnosis of the conservation status of the collection, and finally, the assistance provided, through the interest of these institutions, in the elaboration of protocols, procedures or activities governed by for the preservation of the archaeological heritage.
