Introduction
Between 1989 and 1992 the Oxford Archaeological Unit (OAU) undertook a full excavation of part of the precinct of the medieval abbey, revealing part of the cloister and south ranges, kitchens and domestic buildings. Evidence for earlier activity included the 11th century Anglo-Saxon abbey and earlier Minster, and a Bronze Age enclosure. The resulting digital archive is being preserved and made easily accessible through the Archaeology Data Service as part of the Digital Archiving Pilot Project: Excavation Records (DAPPER) project funded by English Heritage.
The downloadable archive contains text files, a database made available as comma delimited text, JPEG images, a 3D reconstruction of the medieval abbey available in DWG or DXF format (i.e. AutoCAD) and numbers of digitised drawings also available as DWG or DXF files. The image files have also been deposited in a preservation format. The TIF files are very large (c. 90MB each) and are not currently available for download.
