Overview
The archive is a large collection of material derived from many differing sources, both Azeri and British, and is divided as shown below:
- Phase 2 Evaluation contains the results of the initial test pitting operation and the examination of aerial images by Rog Palmer.
- Phase 3 & 4 Mitigation contains all the IoAE site data in 41 site sections each typically containing:
- An IoAE report, being the final version after comments by David Maynard.
- Images in various directories, typically with 'IoAE images' from their report and 'BTC photos' containing other images of the site.
- One or more AutoCAD site plans of the site compiled by David Maynard from IoAE data and the BTC archaeologist's measurements.
- Other textual reports and spreadsheets covering site notes maintained by the BTC archaeologist and various calculation sheets prepared by David Maynard during the Phase 5 studies.
- Special Analyses contains sections detailing the various pieces of work and original reports for Human Bone Analysis, Radiocarbon, Obsidian Characterisation and Charcoal Identification.
- Off-Route Archaeology contains those activities that do not easily fit into the main archive structure. There are sections for Bus Stops, Aerial Archaeology and Off-Route Finds.
Coordinate system
All data was collected on the Pulkovo 1942 system, using a Gauss Kruger Zone 8 Projection.
