SWAD: Scottish Wetlands Archaeological Database

 

Map Search

This page allows you to select sites by clicking on the map of Scotland. Before clicking on the map, select the size of the sides of the search area. The square search area will be centred on the point you click on. The named coloured areas on the map are local council areas. If you want to find all of the sites within a search area, do not use the Class and Class Type criteria.

If you wish, you can limit your search by selecting particular types of archaeology use the one of the two optional criteria. First select the size of your search area. The class field is the type of record. For example, if you would like to find all of the bronze axes, type in "bronze axes", or all of the axes just type in "axe". The Class Type is the classification of records into broad groups. Choose either, but not both of these two extra criteria.


Define the size of the area you wish to search either by clicking a button or entering the desired box size. Use the scale on the map to guide you. Click on the map to define the centre of your search. Use Class or Class Type if you wish to refine your search.
