  • Go to Google Maps and locate the place where you made your find. Hover your mouse over that location and a balloon will appear. You will then see the coordinates for that location at the bottom of the page.
  • The coordinates will look like this: e.g. 52.089488, 4.330182. Enter them under X and Y.
  • If you have made several finds in one field, enter the central point of the coordinates.

Summarise here the main find categories at the findspot. Don’t describe each find separately (sherd, flake, coin, etc.) but group them as best you can by serial number. You may of course describe stray finds and special finds separately. Always report the number of finds described for each serial number. If you can’t give an exact number, provide an estimate.
Here you can provide information about the find, the date or the complex, such as the weight and dimensions of an artefact (these must always be provided in the case of complete objects), the presence of epigraphy (stamp, inscription, graffito), tempering (in the case of handmade pottery), decoration, a C14 date, etc. Also report any uncertainties, such as a date that is not entirely secure or an uncertain interpretation.
