Dear all, Surely interpreted historical events such as the Great Fire of London or similar fires in most provincial towns should be identified in HERs as "Monuments", i.e. as interpretations, just as Battlefields are so identified. Several different interpretations of the same event would thus be different Monuments. Evidence of such Monuments, i.e. burned deposits, would be recorded separately, as part of a archaeological recording event. Historical records of such fires would be recorded as Sources.
