We are very pleased to announce that Internet Archaeology and the
Archaeology Data Service were winners in the Best Archaeological
Innovation category at the biennial British Archaeology Awards ceremony
at the British Museum yesterday for the LEAP Project exemplars
<http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/project/leap/>.
Deliberately blurring the boundary between publication and archive, the
LEAP publications were recognised as demonstrating novel ways in which
electronic publication can provide broad access to research findings,
and make underlying data available in such a way so that readers are
enabled to 'drill down' seamlessly into online archives to test
interpretations and develop their own conclusions.
The LEAP project was also highly commended in the Best Archaeological
ICT Project category.
Judith Winters and Prof. Julian Richards attended the ceremony and
received the award from Carenza Lewis.
