  • 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:10.5284/1000310

    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/10.5284/1000310

    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:10.5284/1000310. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000310">doi:10.5284/1000310</a>

Introduction

Between July and September 1999, Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (now operating as Oxford Archaeology North) were commissioned by North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC), in conjunction with the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Project, to undertake an archaeological survey of part of the Nidderdale AONB. The aim of this survey was to concord various datasets which had been produced by previous work; to verify and record existing features, and to identify any further features within the area. The overarching aim of the survey was to help inform management of the Historic Environment within the AONB.

This survey produced a substantial digital archive which was deposited with NYCC Historic Environment Record (HER). This data has been incorporated into the NYCC HER.

Nicholas Boldrini, the HER Officer at NYCC, began an MSc in Archaeological Information Systems at York University in 2003. This course highlighted issues around digital preservation, and also involved placement work. It was decided to prepare the digital archive for the Nidderdale AONB Archaeological Survey (known as NAAS for the purposes of this Project) for digital archiving as the placement component of this course. This project was chosen because it was felt this dataset was not adequately archived at the HER. This Archiving project has been called the Nidderdale AONB Archaeological Survey Archiving Project (NAASAP).
