One of our Finds Advisers, Kevin Leahy, has just had one of his major pieces of research and excavation work released for access by all on the Archaeological Data Service website.
Kevin Leahy’s report on the excavation, Interrupting the Pots; Excavation of Cleatham Anglo-Saxon Cemetery was published in 2007 as Council for British Archaeology Research Report, 155. This digital resource is intended to make the data upon which the report was based available. It includes the full catalogues as a relational database together with images and the meta-data defining the terms used. While it can be used by itself it is best understood as being complementary to the hard copy synthesis.
I’m not sure, but I think this is the work that Kevin won a major prize for earlier this year….Kevin?
OpenCalais helped to tag this with: Archaeological Data Service • Cleatham cemetery • Council for British Archaeology Research Report • Kevin Leahy • relational database • Saxon Cemetery
Possibly related posts: Are you doing research on Scheme data? • Web stats • Database developer - short term contract •
It is the project for which Kevin won an award last year. The prize money from the award helped to fund the book and database.
Two minor corrections: it is the Archaeology Data Service, and CBA will be publishing Kevin’s book next month.
