Recording and Publication
The excavation's paper records are all entered onto the Integrated Archaeological Database (IADB). The written context records, context plans, finds, photographs and specialist reports are all entered on site. The programme can be searched for linked records and can also draw matrices - diagrams of the how the different features on site link together.
Alongside more conventional publications such as interim reports, journal articles and popular articles, we are aiming to break new ground by publishing the site in digital format online. This exciting initiative is already under way using the data from the Antiquaries' excavations, with summary interpretations linked to the live database.
