Anyone working in archaeology has used some form of sampling strategy during the course of their work, whether they knew it or not. Most professions do something like this. Are we doing it right? Too much? Too little? Dr. Ted Banning recently published a paper in American Antiquity discussing the current state of sampling in the field.

There's other visual ways to record, including photogrammetry, 360 videos, and imagery for augmented and virtual reality. You can also record sounds, scents, and even taste. Not sure what that would do for you, but, it's certainly an option.
