  • How to cite using this DOI

    • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000195

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000195

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000195. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000195">doi:10.5284/1000195</a>

Introduction

The Cumbria Extensive Urban Survey was carried out by Cumbria County Council between 2000 and 2002. The project, part of a national programme of work coordinated by English Heritage, comprised a three-stage survey of the historical and archaeological aspects of each of twenty-three towns selected in Cumbria. The programme aims to re-evaluate the national archaeological resource and to provide comprehensive, rigorous and consistent base-line information against which research, regeneration and land use planning objectives may be set. The programme has three principal outputs: new data added to the Cumbria Sites & Monuments Record, a comprehensive report containing background information on the historical development and current archaeological knowledge of each town, and a strategy report, which outlines recommended management actions.

The project was carried out on behalf of Cumbria County Council who as archaeological advisors on planning matters are responsible for manitaining the County Sites and Monuments Record.
