Database (Microsoft Access) file
The Microsoft Access database has a form called Main which opens automatically when the database is launched. The Main form provides two buttons via which to access the data: Burial and Site. Each of these tables is represented by its own tab in the Main switchboard. There is also a Reports button, that provides access to a series of pre-defined reports containing overviews of various segments of the data, and a Queries button through which a cross-tabulation of the inventories of the burials can be generated.
The Site button is based upon a gazetteer of later Anglo-Saxon furnished burial sites. It provides an overview of all of the burial sites reviewed from which the sample of burials analysed in detail under this project were drawn, and a sub-form for the burials that have been recorded from each site in the database. Every site has its own unique Site_ID.
The Burial button provides access to all of the burials recorded by the project. Each burial is also designated by a unique ID which is composed of Site_ID (see above) and the grave number. Where necessary, one or more zeros are inserted before the grave number to allow the burial code to be sorted in the correct alphabetical and numerical order.
