I am currently looking into the use of pro-forma record sheets for the
recording and analysis of historic buildings, I would be interested to see
any examples of forms that are being used for recording at a building level
and in terms of a change of fabric within a building. I am currently
contemplating with the idea of using a tiered system as follows;
i)The whole site
ii)Individual buildings
iii)Structural elements (i.e., roof, walls, floors, doorways, windows).
iv)Building fabric (including both the original fabric and later alterations)
The site would be given a standard context number, with each subsequent tier
added i.e., Here96/1/3/4, this could then be cross referenced. Would the
members of this list consider such a system to be workable or would it be
considered to be too cumbersome? If anyone has any suggestions as to other
systems I would be grateful for the feedback.
I would also like to hear from archaeologists who have used a pro-forma
recording method on standing buildings, as to whether or not they found it
better or more restrictive than just using a site notebook.
Best wishes,
