Dear Iain,
 
There are a great number of archaeology data standards that have
been developed in the United Kingdom.  You can find a list with
links to many of these on the Archaeology Data Service website
at:

You might also find the staff at the Data Standards
Unit in the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of
England very helpful.  They can be contacted via email at
