Resource identifiers

  • ADS Collection: 770
  • doi:10.5284/1000292
  • 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:10.5284/1000292

    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/10.5284/1000292

    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:10.5284/1000292. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000292">doi:10.5284/1000292</a>

Introduction

During the last 20 years a number of archaeological projects have been carried out within the precinct of Glastonbury Abbey. Some have entailed small-scale excavation - for example those tackling drainage problems - but more commonly studies have arisen from the programme of conserving the monument's upstanding masonry. The careful examination of the fabric and the preparation of detailed records of its form and structural history are necessary processes in carrying out such work; the records compiled form important tools in the ongoing care of the monument. Some remarkable discoveries have emerged from this work, including the recovery of the fragmentary remains of a spectacular painted scheme within the Lady Chapel, and the recognition of evidence which allows new interpretation of the building programme of the great church. The series of reports is designed to give access to this new information.

Five sections in this series are currently available here:
