The Wiltshire Digital Recording Project was set up in order to support various projects within the Wiltshire Archaeological Field Group; http://wiltshireafg.weebly.com/index.html  with the provision to provide a database accessible by the group and others for the purposes of recording and research. 

One of the projects included the recording of English Civil War battle scars in and around the Wiltshire area, whilst another concerned an excavation of an early medieval structure at Bincknoll run by Broad Town Archaeology (https://www.facebook.com/broadtownarchaeology),   It soon became apparent that recording techniques  common to these projects could be adapted to include other areas of research.

Within the W.A.F.G  several members have an interest in artworks, graffiti and historic representations. An example can be found here; http://wiltshirearborglyphs.weebly.com/  and the decision was taken to combine elements from each to  enhance our understanding of  how the past can be interpreted through decoration, inscription and basic art forms. A natural extension of this was to include a medieval graffiti survey as ably pioneered by the Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey (http://www.medieval-graffiti.co.uk/)and subsequently extended across the country. 

A variety of recording methods will be used; from a compact camera to DSLR, Near Infra Red (NIR) imaging and Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). Don't be put off! This is an all inclusive project and training will be given.

 
As this is a community-led project please feel free to get in touch should you wish to be involved. You can also keep abreast of W.A.F.G.'s current activities via their facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wiltshire-Archaeology-Field-Group/174973612517838?fref=ts
