HER databases contain information about fieldwork carried out in their area, from the earliest antiquarian investigations through to the present-day activities of archaeologists, architectural recorders, surveyors, photographers and others. This information is used to set the known sites and monuments in the area in the context of the pattern of investigation and discovery. It can be used to identify areas for new fieldwork - to fill in apparent 'blanks' in the distribution of monuments - and to inform new understanding or to suggest investigative techniques that may yield good results. On completion of field projects, contractors supply a summary for inclusion in the HER followed by a report on the work. In Scotland, in addition to submission of fieldwork reports to the SMR, summaries are provided to the [Council for Scottish Archaeology|Glossary#CSA|target='_blank'] for inclusion in Discovery and Excavation in Scotland, an annual publication. Fieldwork reports are archived in the [NMRS|Glossary#NMRS|target='_blank']. Similarly in Wales, in addition to their submission to the HER, it is usual for recent fieldwork results to be summarised in the Council for British Archaeology, Wales annual publication Archaeology in Wales. Since it is usually some time before the results are published, HERs are an increasingly important source of information about these projects In England, the development of the [Online AccesS to the Index of archaeological investigationS (OASIS)|Glossary#OASIS|target='_blank'] project (See sections [B.5.4|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionB.5#section-SectionB.5-B.5.4OASISAndDataExchangeProcurement], [C.7.3|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionC.7#section-SectionC.7-C.7.3OASISOnLineAccesSToTheIndexOfArchaeologicalInvestigationS]) is enabling contractors and curators to complete online recording forms and should facilitate supply of information from field projects to HERs. OASIS has been introduced for use in England and many HERs and contracting units are registered and using the system. The OASIS pilot is being extended to Scotland in 2006-7. The role of OASIS in Wales is as yet undecided.
