Overview
The data is presented here as both an online searchable database and as delimited text files which can be downloaded and queried on a range of platforms. The online database has both a free search option, allowing the user to search over a range of fields in combination, along with a preset query option which returns the major instrument groupings of interest.
The downloadable database consists of a single table holding the descriptive data for toilet instruments and four lookup tables each containing controlled vocabulary for certain fields within the main table (object types, objects, site categories, site function).
Period terms used within the database equate to centuries AD e.g. '1' is 1st century AD. The 'Preconquest' term implies pre 43AD and comprises Later Iron Age finds. The '5+' and '7' options relate to post-Roman contexts containing residual Roman material.
References used in the database are expanded in the Bibliography file available from the downloads page.
