Archaeology Information and Resources
The Archaeology Office contains a wide range of information on Wiltshire archaeology. The principal source is the Sites & Monuments Record, on which all known sites and finds are recorded. You can now search this for yourself on-line.
The SMR is supplemented by aerial photographic sorties, including copies of the Wiltshire County Council census-year vertical photography (1971 to 2001). There is a large collection of oblique aerial photos of specific archaeological sites.
Data is collected from Museums, aerial photographs and early maps, and also from published reports on archaeology.
Visitors to the Office carry out research using SMR maps and database printouts. They can be instructed in use of the aerial photo collection, and have access to all excavation and survey reports lodged with the Office. Users include members of the public engaged in local research, as well as professional archaeologists and consultants.
