Another 218 reports have been added to the Grey Literature Library this month including 50 from University of Leicester Archaeological Services, 20 from Cotswold Archaeology and 14 from Cornwall Historic Environment Service.

The ADS welcomes community archaeology projects and local societies to the OASIS online submission form. Please feel free to register as a user and work through the form. If you have any queries please contact either caf@britarch.ac.uk or, for technical issues, oasis@ads.ahds.ac.uk.

The OASIS project brings together a number of strategic partners: the Archaeology Data Service, the Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP) of Bournemouth University, the Archaeology Commissions Section of English Heritage, the National Monuments Record of English Heritage, Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland under the umbrella of the University of York.

An OASIS form is available for both England and Scotland. Contractors will need only one login to access both the English and the Scottish versions of OASIS but will be asked to choose which country they are working in after entering their username and password. HERs will automatically be directed to the right version of the form for the area they cover.
