Late antique fortifications database
#1
Hello all,
I am new to this board but have dropped by a couple of times in the past. I wonder if you or some people on this board might be willing to help me out with a computer project I have recently undertaken. As part of this course I have to undertake a simple database project and thought it might be a good idea to revive some of my old research work. I had created a database to record all the battles and sieges from AD300-650 (dates, location, combatants, sources, course of the engagement) but, as I now know, it was very poorly designed in database terms. I am in the process of redesigning this but have added a whole new section to it on fortifications, a topic I only touched on briefly in my research as I had no archaeological training.
Basically I am trying to set up a system, which will ultimately become web based (if enough people think it is useful), to record information on late antique fortifications. Primarily this is concerned with wall height, area enclosed, tower types, gates, dating, etc. Part of the project requires showing feedback from potential users. As I saw the helmet and sword databases on this site, I thought some people here might be prepared to look at a prototype I have come up with and maybe enter a few records on to it for trial purposes and provide feedback. At present the database is only in MS Access 2000. I do not know how to make it web based and know nothing about ASP so for the foreseeable future it will be in Access and I can email it to nobody who would like to see a copy.

Many thanks,
Stephen McCotter
