Hi Sarah et al Just to clarify. When I suggested 'aerial photographic evidence' I was looking at the NMR thesauri online. The version of the evidence thesaurus online is different to that in use in HBSMR and indeed the evidence thesaurus in EH databases. I hadn't realized that this was the case. The online version was an attempt to improve on the old version and arose from discussion on this list (or its predecessor) or the FISH list I can't remember which. Anyway in our database it's called NHRDS EVIDENCE. Which if I remember rightly standards for National Heritage Reference Data Sets. Why the online version points at NHRDS and not standard Evidence I don't know but will look into it. Anyway maybe now would be a good time to suggest that NHRDS Evidence replace Evidence Please look at the web version on http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/thesaurus/evidence/default.htm Any comments as to whether this is better/worse/the same as the old one would be welcome. Obviously if there is general agreement that it's better then we'll look at getting it incorporated into HBSMR asap Phil P.S.

Are the Evidence thesauri used within EH and elsewhere the same?

Similarly, and ideas for bombcraters?

Its not quite a modified surface, enhanced natural feature, or earthwork. Any ideas? TIme for a new term - Human ALtered area? Or something? Assuming any of you think about such things... thanks best wishes Nick Boldrini Historic Environment Record Officer Heritage Section Countryside Service North Yorkshire County Council Direct Dial (01609) 532331 http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/environment/heritage.shtm#Archaeology North Yorkshire County Council has the right and does inspect E-Government mails sent from and to its computer system.
