Cambridgeshire Development Archaeology Evidence Atlas
A searchable discovery layer for selected public archaeological report metadata in Cambridgeshire. Every result points back to its authoritative record; none should be treated as a complete historic-environment record or a prediction of archaeological potential.

Read this carefully: the atlas records evidence represented in this deliberately small public catalogue. A low count can reflect investigation intensity, publication practice or incomplete discovery metadata; it does not mean low archaeological potential. Absence from this atlas is not evidence of absence of archaeology.

11 records match the current filters.
Mapped evidence
Mapped source locations
This proportional coordinate plot only shows records where the source page supplied a British National Grid reference. It is not a basemap, a planning constraint map, or an archaeological risk map. 6 current results are intentionally excluded because no precise grid reference was recorded.

Publication years represented in this release

Read the record before drawing a conclusion
Ely: distinguish the report date from the investigation
The retained Downham Road record lists investigation year 2016 and publication year 2019. Inspect its source and DOI to check the original report; the year difference is not a measure of project delay. Its source period terms are catalogue labels, not evidence for another Ely parcel.
Inspect the Ely metadata →Yaxley: an unmapped record is still a source
The Library site evaluation has no coordinates in this release. It remains searchable and citable as a bibliographic record; do not position it using a town centre or transfer a licence from a different report copy.

Methodology
A discovery layer with explicit limits
Inclusion and exclusion
Selected Cambridgeshire ADS Library discovery metadata was recorded in the original release from public snippets; full primary-page verification remains partial. No CHER record has been bulk-copied. No OASIS API, private account or source PDF was accessed. Records without an independently confirmed public page, provenance or a source identifier were excluded.
Spatial handling
The map uses only British National Grid coordinates published on the source record. We do not infer a site location from a parish or town name. Records without usable coordinates are retained in the table and counted as unmapped.
Classification and duplicates
Investigation types and period terms are preserved from the source metadata or conservatively normalised for readable display. The build fails on duplicate source record IDs. Publication year is kept separate from investigation year where the latter is supported.
Licensing and corrections
Each derived row preserves the record-level licence/access statement. The atlas redistributes no report PDF and grants no blanket permission to reuse source material. Corrections should cite the atlas record ID and authoritative source page through the project-review form.
Full source manifest and reproducible-refresh instructions are maintained with the public dataset. Read the site’s editorial and corrections standards →
