Apologies for cross posting The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) is pleased to announce that the Database of Implement Petrology for Britain is now available on-line as a downloadable delimited text file suitable for import into most databases or spreadsheets. The database has been assembled by the Implement Petrology Committee (IPC) of the Council for British Archaeology (CBA). This valuable resource can be accessed from either the 'Project Archives' button on the main menu of ArchSearch at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/ and selecting the 'Finds-based studies' option or through the ADS catalogue. For example, try a keyword search on 'petrology' and follow the links. DAPPER update: following user feedback including a special workshop the ArchSearch Project Archives interface has been remodeled. Take a look at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/. Also AutoCAD drawings are now being made available in DWF format as well DXF ans DWG. This is a special internet format which can be viewed using the AutoCAD WHIP browser plug-in. The latter can be downloaded at http://www.autodesk.com/products/whip/index.htm . The Digital Archiving Pilot Project: Excavation Records project was funded by English Heritage and provides the digital Excavation archives for the Royal Opera House (MoLAS) and Eynsham Abbey (OAU).
