Major subjects covered: 

Archaeological fieldwork; Architectural fieldwork

Purpose: 

According to http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/01_introduction.pdf, page 6, “This thesaurus represents the Data Standards Unit’s response to numerous requests from individuals and organizations within the heritage sector for a standardized terminology that can be applied to archaeological and architectural fieldwork types and techniques and our response to a ‘terminology gap’ that was recently identified by the MIDAS Heritage, Historic Environment Record (HER) Compliance Profile. It is hoped that the thesaurus will be of use to anyone involved in the recording of events, be that at local or national level.”
