Impact of the crisis on research funding and priorities:
Questions include: have the budgets dedicated to research (infrastructure or project based, in universities or research bodies) been affected by the crisis, in terms of available funding, evaluation criteria, types of projects selected, eligible expenditures, etc.

Impact of the crisis on professional employment:
Issues here concern (a) employment, job security, recruitment and redundancies (notably in contract archaeology), (b) the health and prospects of various archaeological employers, in public or private sectors, and (c) the crucial issue of professional training and skills, by universities, by employers, and particularly the possibilities of their maintenance - or loss – due to the crisis.

Impact of the crisis on conservation and public outreach:
What are the impacts of the crisis on archaeological documentation and finds, as studied, curated and stored by field units or by museums? What is the fate of various activities (personnel, publications, exhibitions etc) aimed at communication and public outreach? What impact on the broader public’s interest in the past and its values?

Impact of the crisis on heritage management, policies and legislation:
In question here are the various structural, policy and legal modifications that follow from – or are amplified, accelerated, or on the contrary delayed by – various responses to the 'crisis' at regional or central government levels. These include changes in the legal definition of 'archaeological sites', changes in the intensity, monitoring, timing or funding of protection measures, merging of heritage management institutions or functions, effects of economic 'new deals' and re-launch initiatives, etc.
