Ave Valley Data Sets - Data Help

All the following data sets have been made available through Internet Archaeology for query online (many are interconnected so that you do not need to keep returning to this page). Some basic help on searching the data online has been provided, and tips on searching have also been inserted by individual search boxes in the query forms.

All of this data (as well as the underlying geospatial data) can also be downloaded (as comma delimited text files) for import into your own database and GIS software from the digital archive of this publication available via the ADS website.
