GIS-based synthesis and reassessment of the archaeological evidence in and around the walled town of Caistor

Principal investigator: Liam
Level: Masters degree

I'm a MA student from the University of Sheffield, doing the MA in Landscape Archaeology. My dissertation is based on using a GIS-based synthesis and reassessment of the archaeological evidence in and around the walled town of Caistor to look at the changes in Caistor from the immediately post-Roman period to the early Medieval period. I'm in the process of integrating mapping from multiple sources including the HER, commercial archaeological reports and academic publications with the results of my own geophysical survey and review of the archaeological literature regarding the archaeology of Caistor. It would be a great help if I were able to access spatial data for metal detecting finds of Roman and Anglo-Saxon date in the Lincolnshire region, especially the West Lindsey district and around Caistor itself. The results would be presented in large-scale mapping in my dissertation; no detailed information on findspot locations would be made available to the general public.
