Archaeology Data Service: Homepage. Homepage - WWII Heritage. Providers. DIRECTORY - Archives Portal Europe. Hello from The Archaeological Settlements of Turkey - TAY Project Portal! Was set up to build a chronological inventory of findings for the cultural heritage of Turkey - an important component of World Heritage sites - and to share this information with the international community. Although both Anatolia and Thrace have revealed cultural traces dating to at least 400.000 years ago, results from early 19th century investigations as well as data generated by current surveys and excavations are neither well organised nor easily accessible.
The locations of many sites remain unknown, while many of them have been and continue to be destroyed, taking their undiscovered secrets with them. In order to stop this cycle, it is essential to collect and compile all available cultural heritage information to establish and maintain a central inventory: if we do not document, we cannot protect.
TAY project's central aim is to thoroughly document all archaeological settlements within Turkey (such as mounds, monuments, tumuli, cemeteries, etc.). Why TAY? The Project Objectives.

Click here for more details about using our collections search, including terms and conditions. The Roman collections at Segedunum relate to the more recent excavations of the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Their particular significance lies in the fact that they represent a comparatively comprehensive span of both the 300 year occupation of the site, and of the assorted structures within it.
Several items deserve particular mention, including the only stone toilet seat from Roman Britain, a delightful portable shrine, surviving spearheads and sections of ring mail armour and a collection of rounded throwing stones - defensive missiles for the Fort. The Strong Place Gallery has artefacts associated with local coalmining and shipbuilding as well some Roman objects from more recent excavations close to the river. The gallery also contains a pilaster from the Mauretania as well as ship models of the Carpathia and HMS Comus.

Introduction English Heritage has a long tradition of producing highly illustrated archaeological monographs about key sites and topics of importance to the understanding of the historic environment in England.
Many of the past titles have long been out of print and yet are still of value for reference purposes. As a service to the wider archaeological community, English Heritage is now making these titles available as ebooks (see the English Heritage Publishing catalogue for details) and as PDFs which can be accessed here for free. The PDFs are, in the main, scans of the original publications and reproduce the pages of those publications.

Collections - Arbeia Roman Fort & Museum. Click here to read more about using our collections search, including terms and conditions. The Roman excavations at Arbeia originate from the 1870s. The finds recovered by the Victorian excavators form the focus of the present collection which is one of the largest and most important from Hadrian's Wall. The collection includes coins, engraved gem stones, jet ornaments, seal boxes, imperial sealings, brooches, pins, ear-rings and military equipment, including a hoard of swords.
There is also a large collection of pottery ranging from cooking wares to highly decorated tablewares. At Arbeia, modern excavations of the interior of the Fort have taken place but considerable research has also been undertaken in the civilian settlement (vicus). Some of the most impressive finds include: Complete Ringmail Suit This is the best preserved ringmail suit in the country, recovered from a barrack building destroyed in a large fire.

This is the second edition of English Heritage guidelines on the application of geophysical survey to archaeological field evaluation first published in 1995.
They are intended to help archaeologists, particularly curators, consultants and project managers, gain a better understanding of the various techniques of geophysical survey. It is also hoped that survey practitioners will find them useful in establishing a code of good practice with their clients as an aid to raising the consistency and quality of geophysical survey in archaeological evaluation. Much has changed since the first edition and the new guidelines have been extensively revised and expanded with new material including the addition of 29 colour figures.
They are organised into four parts intended to group together information of most use for the different envisaged audiences: Standards for Geophysical SurveyGeophysical Survey and PlanningGuide to Choice of MethodsPractitioner's Guide to Good Practice. Environmental Archaeology | English Heritage. Gill Campbell, Lisa Moffett, and Vanessa Straker This document provides guidance for good practice in environmental archaeology.
It gives practical advice on the applications and methods of environmental archaeology within archaeological projects. It should not replace advice given by specialists on specific projects, nor is it intended that these guidelines should inhibit future development of methodologies or recommended procedures. This document should be cited as: Campbell, G, Moffett, L and Straker, V 2011 'Environmental Archaeology.
