One of Urban Archaeology’s wider aims is to develop
training materials for use on archaeological sites. For several years we
produced an occasional and ad hoc series of hand-outs and reference sheets for use in identifying finds and aiding in the
recording and interpretation of archaeological features and site formation processes.
A couple of years ago Urban Archaeology applied for grant
funding to develop a series of factsheets based on common classes of artefacts;
unfortunately we weren’t successful however we did prepare a pilot version of a
Roman Ceramic Building Material (CBM) Factsheet containing information on types
of CBM found in London. The concept was for a free downloadable A2 poster that could
be displayed in site huts and tea rooms, with smaller A4 versions available as handouts,
or potentially viewed on smart-phones. There's a downloadable version of the pilot factsheet below -the fonts don't view very well on the Scribd website, so its best to download it and it will open as a pdf.
We’d be very interested in any feedback on the format and the
level of content, especially if anyone is interested in sponsoring or helping
develop what we feel would be a great resource for archaeologists!
