Report: The Tony Dyson Archive Project: Report of a pilot study investigating the creation of a digital archive of medieval property transactions along the City waterfront

A write-up of some requirements analysis and database work I did for a pilot with the Museum of London Archaeology Service on digitising an archive of  medieval property records of the parishes (mostly Hustings Rolls, the records of the medieval Court of Husting).  The report is co-authored with Nick Holder and Nathalie Cohen.

In 2005 I did more fieldwork at Çatalhöyük and gave a seminar on 'Not One Voice But Many: The Çatalhöyük Database' while I was on-site in July 2005. Some of my work is documented in the Çatalhöyük Archive Report 2005, including work on ground stones, macro botany, and figurines reports, as well as my own brief database report Çatalhöyük 2005 Archive Report Database and IT Team.

I gave a paper on 'The IT Strategy for Exploring 20th Century London' at the Museums Association Conference, October 24, 2005, Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London.

I also did a talk on the '20th Century London' Project IT Strategy at the On Line Galleries and Narrative Workshop, Manchester City Galleries, Manchester Museums Consortium, December 12, 2005.

Site discussion

I went out to work on-site at the Çatalhöyük Research Project near Konya in Turkey for the first time. Some of my work is documented in reports including Figurines and the Çatalhöyük 2004 Archive Report Database and IT, and some general background to the database and IT work we did on site is in Some of the history of the Catalhoyuk database.

I also gave a paper on 'The development of the Ceramics and Glass website' at the Ceramics and Glass Seminar, November 18, 2004 (Powerpoint slides), Mortimer Wheeler House, London.
