Database Search

The forms below allow you to search for specific details from the Thornborough context database. A brief description of the database and explanation of the results is currently in preparation. Guy and Dick are currently trying to make sense of the data they have inherited, and as they do so more search options will be added to this page. Please be warned that some data still needs serious re-evaluation, and until this has been completed some bizarre/incomplete results might occasionally crop up. We apologise...

context data	group data
basic raw context information is available via this form. original interpretations have been kept as a record, but where we consider the original interpretation needs re-thinking, the revised interpretation is stated.	where various contexts form a discrete unit or entity, they are grouped within an overall number and discussed as a whole. use this form to access details of such groupings.

artefacts & samples	photographs
use this form to interrogate the finds database. it is best to keep your search fairly broad, for example if you're looking for thumbnail scrapers, just choose 'flint' from Material and 'thumbnail' from Class. for all scraper types choose 'scraper' from Type.	(in prep)
