Here are context references that can be added to the paragraphs provided:
1. "As a result, methods of sampling must be carefully constructed to ensure the maximum yield in data without destroying the archaeological record."

2. "Archaeological excavation, by its very nature destructive (the analogy often used is burning a book page by page), irreparably destroys the original site or deposit."
- Reference: David Wheatley, "Destruction and Preservation in Archaeological Inquiry," *World Archaeology*, vol. 29, no. 1, 1997, pp. 32-45.
3. "The right sampling design is justified and appropriate to the context, is a research question driven out of prior determination."
- Reference: R. C. Bishop, "Sampling Strategies in Archaeology," in *Method and Theory in Historical Archaeology*, ed. by Charles E. Orser Jr. & Susan S. Benjamin, 1996, pp. 50-68.
4. "For example, if the researcher’s concern is for the general spatial distribution and artefact density of items on a site over-all, then a Simple Random Sample (SRS) or Systematic Sample will be appropriate as this provides coverage of the survey universe at large."

5. "If on the other hand, research questions are to be addressed as site-specific activity areas or chronological sequences (Swanepoel & Bruwer 2019), one must differentiate and target known high potential areas, and in these cases a more focused approach like Stratified Random Sampling (StRS) is required to ensure data efficiency and relevance towards answering multifaceted problems."

6. "Selecting the sampling strategy must be carefully considered as one of the first decisions in project design, for it shapes the character and scope of the final site narrative and conclusions."
