The OASIS Project:
The aim of the OASIS project is to provide an online index to the mass of
archaeological grey literature that has been produced as a result of the
advent of large-scale developer funded fieldwork. As part of this overall
vision, the OASIS data capture form has been designed to help in the flow of
information from data producers, such as contracting units, through to local
and national data managers, such as SMR's and NMR's.
