The ROMFA Archaeological Recording System
The �ROMFA Archaeological Recording System� and its
accompanying site manual have been designed to provide appropriate guidance on good
archaeological method and practice and also as an introduction for trainees to
the methods and techniques utilised by professional archaeologists.
The Context Recording System consists of pre-printed pro-forma sheets made up of fields
with prompts for standard information (e.g. measurements, soil descriptions
etc.). The sheets are designed to create a professional level of organisation
and consistency in the recording of physical archaeology and to prompt
archaeologists of any level of experience to create a detailed and easily
cross-referenced record.
In addition, several prompt sheets have been produced which synthesise major elements of the recording methods. These prompt sheets are designed to be used in the field for quick reference and as a general teaching aid.
Although the author retains intellectual property rights to the ROMFA System, permission is granted for reproduction and use as an archaeological recording resource. Click on the thumbnail or link below to download the ROMFA Manual and sheets.
