Welcome to Archaeology UK the home of ARCHI, the fully-searchable database of the positions of nearly 110,000 UK Archaeological sites. Most of the sites in the database are linked to an aerial photograph of the site plus a local road map and many are also linked to Victorian Ordnance Survey maps.

The website also hosts our searchable database of UK place names and many other facilities such as an online gallery, glossary of archaeological terms, summary of British historical figures and events and a list of other websites useful to archaeologists and historians.

In addition to hosting our ARCHI database, we are also able to provide commercial products such as aerial photographs on CDs covering England, Scotland and Wales. Our placename finder on CD is an additional tool developed by us to aid navigation whilst browsing the aerial photographs and also quickly convert between the British National Grid System and standard Ordnance Survey co-ordinate systems.

Archaeology UK is the web site of the Archaeological Resource Collection (ARC) whose aim is to make archaeological and historical information available on the net.

 

The Archaeological
Sites Index

You can use this search to locate UK Archaeological Sites. Sites can be found by by entering the name of the town nearest to your area of interest or by entering a national grid reference number of your area of interest.

You can also search for information on sites by their popular name (eg Camelot, Stonehenge, Maiden etc). Alternatively, you can search for sites of a particular type such as the Banjo Enclosures in Hampshire. Click HERE to go to the ARCHI search menu.

Placename
Finder 

This is the most the most comprehensive UK place-name gazetteer on the internet and has been described by Dr Paul Cavill, Research Fellow at the English Place-Name Society as, 'one of the best resources for place-name researchers, archaeologists, local history people and others on the web'.

The gazetteer contains the names of more than 160,000 UK places and allows you to search for particular names and also for name elements.

Glossary of Terms,
People & Places

Use this on-line glossary to find out more about those people and places and technical terms abounding the history and archaeology books.

You can either browse the glossary or perform an on-line search.

Historical Figures
& Events

Who was the first Roman Emperor to rule over early Britain? Who brought Christianity to England? Who were the first Anglo-Saxon kings? We all know of Henry VIII, but when did Henry I rule? Check these pages to find out!

On-line
Gallery

Visit these pages if you want to see the what the Anglo-Saxon kings used for money or what the richer Iron Age folk might have used as forms of portable wealth.

While you're there why not have a look at the first English coins minted for everyday use.

Tithe Maps
& Apportionment Lists

One of the ARC's major projects is to generate electronic versions of the Tithe Maps and Apportionment lists created in the middle of the 19th century. The aim of this is to make them widely available for those interested in archaeology, history and genealogy. This is labour intensive work, however, we hope to have three maps and two apportionments available soon.

Related sites are classified according to their subject area and source so there is no need to trawl through endless lists looking for other web sites of interest to you.
