Agreed! I think I said the same thing when I responded to the peer review consultation. Slightly bypassing the purist view of an event and taking a practical view, AP assessment/interpretation is absolutely the sort of thing its essential for HERs to be able to map and index as an event, i.e. the presence/absence of a particular investigative approach on a piece of land.

One thing that seems to be missing from the list (and which we use quite a lot in Norfolk as we have an NMP project underway) is aerial photo interpretation (as opposed to the actual process of aerial reconnaissance and photography). I would have expected to find it listed under Heritage Assessment - sorry if I have missed this and it's somewhere else in the thesaurus. Many thanks, Alice --- Alice Cattermole Historic Environment Record Officer Norfolk Landscape Archaeology Union House Gressenhall East Dereham NR20 4DR Tel. 01362 869281 ________________________________ From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of ADAMS, Paul Sent: 18 January 2010 11:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Event Types Thesaurus - now available Importance: High Dear colleagues, You may be interested to know that English Heritage's Data Standards Unit recently completed a thesaurus of archaeological and architectural fieldwork types and techniques as a development of the ALGAO event type wordlist. The thesaurus will allow users to identify and apply standardized indexing to a wide range of investigative activities that are undertaken by the heritage community, as well as assisting in the retrieval and exchange of data, please see attached leaflet. We are pleased to announce that the first edition of the Event Types Thesaurus is now available in .csv format for building into databases, if you would like a copy in this format please feel free to contact me off list; HBSMR users will receive the thesaurus as part of our next update. Our web pages have now been updated at http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk<http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/> where users can browse the thesaurus online and download pdf versions of the introduction and appendices. Once again I would like to thank all those who kindly gave their time to comment on and participate in the review of the thesaurus during its construction. Kind regards Paul Paul Adams AIfA Data Standards Supervisor English Heritage NMRC, Kemble Drive, Swindon.
