Subject: For moderation - Re: Internet Site Reports

Dear all, 

> I have been trying to find some examples of archaeological site reports
> on the internet 

In reply to this posting I thought that it would be a good idea to
mention a few of the projects which the Archaeology Data Service
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk and Internet Archaeology http://intarch.ac.uk have
been working on in this area. 

In the Second Edition of the ADS Excavation and Fieldwork Archiving
Guide to Good Practice (available from the ADS website at the end of
November and in hardcopy from Oxbow Books before Christmas) we talk
about the different types of digital archives that could be produced.
Specifically we introduce the 'Integrated Dissemination Archive' which
can be thought of as "a fully integrated publication and online digital
archive [which] allows users to explore the links between the
interpretation presented in the text and underlying data through a
variety of interfaces, including maps, plans and other graphical
means..." (Section 3.2) 

The first steps towards an Integrated Dissemination Archive have
already been taken in many of the papers in Internet Archaeology, and
indeed in the next issue there will be a paper by Martin Millett on his
Ave Valley Survey, with the raw data available from the ADS. 

Another form of publication and archive is being released at the end of
this month. The Fyfield and Overton Downs Landscape Project is the
result of 39 years of research by Peter Fowler. The publication will
consist of a traditional printed monograph, published by the Society of
Antiquaries, but which will be backed up by an archive of 100 Fyfield
Working Papers (FWPs) held by the ADS - _these_ will include four volumes
of conventional, illustrated excavation reports covering the three main
excavations and, in a fourth volume, all the smaller excavations. The
archive will also contain over 90 other FWPs and include such diverse
titles as:
FWP 18b - The Templars in Rockley and Lockeridge 
FWP 68 - Analysis of Saxon charters: the 10th century Saxon landscape  
FWP 89 - Catalogue of finds as boxed in Devizes Museum

While the examples given above are steps towards the Integrated
Dissemination Archive they fall short of the full vision. In order to
really illustrate how this can be done, the ADS and Internet Archaeology,
in conjunction with English Heritage, are working towards the fully
integrated publication of a major site in the North of England. Here the
full texts of the excavation reports will be available through Internet
Archaeology, along with a fully searchable online version of the site
GIS. 
The ADS archive will also compose of the site's fully illustrated
relational database, as well as all of the long-term archival data. This
publication is scheduled for release around December next year.

In all of these cases the publication of the site and the archiving of
its data go together. In this way the site is not only published but
its raw data secured for future re-use and re-interpretation.

Cheers,

Damian
