One of the primary outputs of archaeology is vast amounts of primary data. In the United Kingdom this is preserved by the ADS – the national repository for UK historic environment data. In the United States, the Digital Archaeological record (tDAR) performs a similar function.

TAG allows you to cross search these two resources via a simple to use query-builder. Results link directly to the two repositories allowing you to quickly access relevant datasets for your research.

How can this collection be used in teaching, studying and research?

Cross-searching of ADS and tDAR will be invaluable for achaeological researchers.

Highlights from this collection

Easy to use interface overcomes transatlantic differences over periodisation and subject type.
