Aerial photos are the really tricky area - so well spotted. Thinking of
when photos are taken specifically of cropmarks etc. You could argue
that an air photo is just a photo like any other and so is just a record
of something visible. No more an event than taking a picture during a
site visit. If each photo is an event, plus the visit itself...
But what if the photos are just tiled verticals that someone is
searching for archaeology? That's more like a field technique. But
consider the parallel of finding evidence for a lost part of a building
from an old painting. Would that be an event? That's more like finding a
documentary reference.
And once you start recording that as an event it's only a matter of time
before compiling the HER entry is an event.
Enjoy thinking about this for the rest of Friday, I'm off to Southampton
to relax at a conference on scientific analysis of pottery.

Been away and just catching up with emails - this implies to me that you
can only gather evidence from fieldwork?
So, that means AP interpretation isn't an event either?
As I interpret the definition given in the Thesaurus Introduction, I
think they both are, and would record them.

Ok I will go on about it again. The site visit is the event - the DBA is
the source.
Do you record entries in Pevsner as an event?

Surely the site visit results in primary evidence? We certainly end up
with a photographic archive.

Hi, Chris
We do record the fieldwork the DBAs and EIAs may contain as
events (usually surveys.). The DBAs, EIAs, etc which contain no events
but are a collation of secondary evidence are recorded as sources.

Hi Chris,
Maybe you could qualify this by saying 'In my opinion'. In a
recent ALGAO survey 76% of respondents said that they recorded these as
events.

I don't want to go round this again but these are not events,
they should be in the HER as sources for the monuments they describe.

Dear all
Is anyone else recording good Heritage Impact Assessments as
Events in their HERs? If so, what Event Type (as in the NMR Event Type
Thesaurus -
http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/thesaurus.asp?thes_no=566) do
you categorise them as? There isn't currently a specific term for them,
and the scope notes for DBA, EIA and Historic Area Assessment aren't
really right for what we see coming in with planning applications. I
know there is some scepticism about whether work like DBAs should be
considered as Events (and not simply as Sources) but it makes sense from
the point of view of data structure to record them as such. I would
also argue that well researched assessments do add a lot to HERs and
should be flagged up as pieces of work. Is there a need for a new
thesaurus term of Heritage Impact Assessment do you think?
Thanks
