  • Welcome to Anchurus

    This is the website where you will find advice, guidance, workflows and software to support you when doing desktop research or archaeological post excavation work.

    Over the coming months, this post and the related pages will highlight support for work undertaken during the post excavation phase of an archaeological excavation (Anchurus II).

    Forms for recording an excavation

    With Anchurus II we have adopted a policy that people working on site use paper forms to record the archaeology. We have done this because, as a voluntary sector organisation, our people are learning to be archaeologists and writing paper records makes for a better learning environment. It allows people to write drafts, make changes and it allows supervisors to review the written evidence and have conversations about what was and should have been written.
