Abstract
The article deals with the basic principles in classification of archeology and how this is exemplified by the practice of the National and University Library in Zagreb (Croatia) which uses Universal Decimal Classification. The author describes main the characteristics of documents in this field and underlines their tendency towards interdisciplinarity. According to the author, UDC numbers in archaeology are very often combined with numbers from other disciplines. These are most often other auxiliary historical sciences (e.g. epigraphy, numismatics) but also: history, history of art, cultural history, philology, anthropology, ethnology, religion, military affairs, transport, agriculture or civil engineering. The author provides some practical examples demonstrating UDC number synthesis, citation order and classification depth in her library.
