ArchSearch Revisited

Rather than give up completely, I started thinking. That other link was simply to the Projects Page... do a search instead. Well, guess what, searching medieval ireland at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/search/basic.cfm created 703 hits. If nothing else, it's a good starting point for finding possible archaeological records of artifacts found at those sites. Man, that's a lot of research... I think I'm going to have to figure out a way to keep track of these, because academic search engines aren't designed for the novice :P

Okay, at most I've determined that the Depositor's ID No is the SMR number that is required on the Northern Ireland Sites and Monument Record page, but I'm not getting much in the way of hits on that site. http://www.ehsni.gov.uk/built/mbr/monuments_database/mons.asp Maybe I'm looking on the wrong page, but it is stating the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Database. This page is hosted on the DoENI Environment and Heritage Service page. http://www.ehsni.gov.uk/built/built.shtml

You got me. I'll look at it some more later when I have a clue *sigh*
