This dataset contains the 'Archaeological Assessment' and 'Strategy' reports produced for each of 30 towns included in the Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Extensive Urban Survey (EUS).
The project had three phases: Data Collection, Data Assessment and Strategy.
The Data Collection stage draws together the accessible history of the town, the archaeological knowledge and historic buildings data. Information collected in this phase has been added to the Hampshire Archaeology and Historic Buildings Record [http://www.hants.gov.uk/environment/historic-environment/] and the Isle of Wight Sites and Monuments Record [http://www.iwight.com/livinghere/planning/Archaeology/].
The Data Assessment phase and the Strategy phases resulted in the production of two separate reports for each town: an Archaeological Assessment and a Strategy. These reports utilise maps generated through the County Councils' Geographical Information Systems to present information about the towns.
The Archaeological Assessment report summarises the history and known archaeological data of the town, presents an analysis of the plan of the settlement and identifies areas of significant modern development, leading to the identification of areas of archaeological importance.
The Strategy report aims to provide guidance about the management of the archaeological resource in each town. This may be adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by District and Borough Councils.
The Archaeological Assessment reports and Strategy reports are presented here in PDF format.
