Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Discovering England's Burial Spaces (DEBS) is an Historic England funded project hosted by the Centre for Digital Heritage, Digital Creativity Labs and the Archaeology Data Service at the University of York, in collaboration with the Universities of Glasgow and Liverpool. We are working with community groups to develop new digital tools and resources for burial space recording, research and dissemination. These include a mobile application which can be used to record burial spaces, a national online recording form, and a pilot national database for burial space research, so that groups conducting work in burial spaces can safeguard their research into perpetuity and share findings with other researchers.The project involves creating resources and standardised workflows and integrating discrete datasets that tend to be particular to the burial space studied. This presentation will introduce the DEBS project and reflect on the challenges and opportunities.
