Can anyone help me with the abbreviation US found in a list of documentation relating to archaeological excavations carried out in the 1970s: "...relazioni, rilievi, elenchi, **schede US**, fotografie, reperti mobili, ecc.). Thanks for your help, Sarah.

"Il problema è semmai che stiamo vivendo una fase di preoccupante involuzione nel metodo di documentazione stratigrafica, involuzione secondo me legata ad una sostanziale incompresione del significato stesso della scheda di US, la quale dovrebbe rappresentare il verbale di una scomposizione sistematica delle singole azioni antiche riconoscibili nella stratigrafia, mediante un approccio prevalentemente in pianta e prevalentemente mediante scavo di una Unità alla volta e NON di una descrizione senza scavo o prevalentemente in sezione di evidenze sovrapposte (come probabilmente sarebbe portato a fare un Geologo)."

it could be Ufficio Stampa, if within the context there was some sort of announcement made to the press or some such.

The first word is most likely "Ufficio". Now it's just a matter of time or effort in finding out what the second word is.

Note from asker:
| I suppose it's possible, but I feel it may be something more technical. The excavations in question are in the wilds of Georgia sometime and I don't think somehow they were ever organised to the point of press releases. |
| Oopos, I meant "somewhere" not "sometime" obviously"! |
