ARCHI, the Archaeological Sites Index, is a fully-searchable database of the positions of more than 115,000 UK archaeological sites and at least 85% of the records are accurate to 6 or more figures.
The majority of the sites have been sourced from a variety of UK Archaeological Journals, books, reports and surveys. For a list of all the journal titles used in the construction of the database click here.
You can search the database in four ways:
When you perform a search of the database, a list of results will be returned to you. To enable you to easily locate the site on the ground, the list contains the grid reference of the site together with links to an aerial photograph of the site, a link to a modern road map of the site's area and also a link to a 19th century map. Thus enabling you to view the site in terms of its geography, topology and history.
