I started this post about 3 weeks ago and forgot all about it. However, one of Tom Goskar’s tweets reminded me about the relaunch of Wessex Archaeology’s website. Like Surrey Archaeology Society’s website, this is another site done with Drupal as the content system and it has been heavily modified to allow the Wessex team to present all the work that they do. Tom has now started a webmaster’s blog, which details how/ why/ when they are doing their work.
Their site now incorporates feeds from their scribd profile, podcasts, youtube video, flickr image feed and a range of syndicated feeds from other organisations as well as the implementation of Google mapping facilities across the pages. I think that Tom and his team have definitely raised the game for the majority of archaeological units, with LP archaeology coming a close second for now.
