Dominique
In response to your email and the environmental recording forms, we have had
a look at these here in Hampshire and although we wish to record a general
level of environmental information on our database [Archaeology & Historic
Buildings Record (AHBR)], we feel that we do not wish to record the detailed
environmental information as this would duplicate the information held by
the excavation archive (held by the appropriate museum). The AHBR database
is an INDEX to information and may point to information more appropriately
stored elsewhere, rather than holding that information directly in some
cases (for example we do not hold excavation archives, but intend to give
reference to their location in the database where we have this information).
I think that you have already met with some of my colleagues here in
Hampshire to discuss this matter.
Best wishes
Bruce
