Gwynedd Archaeological Trust

'Gwynedd Archaeological Trust has been a partner in the Adnabod Ardudwy project since the early stages, and has been on hand to provide the project co-ordinators with some information and advice regarding the development of the website. Trust staff have also assisted the project by attending meetings relating to the progress of the project; providing interpretative material for the accompanying walks; and presenting talks, including a contribution to the MHRS/Adnabod Ardudwy Conference at Plas Tan y Bwlch in September 2007. A key aim of the project was to bring together the Tithe map data from Rhian Parry with other existing datasets in the local area. The Regional Historic Environment Record (HER) held by the Trust is one such dataset. Information from the HER is included in the website to facilitate interpretation of the landscape by identifying the locations of known features of archaeological and historical interest. The HER covers all aspects of human activity in the landscape from early prehistory to the twentieth century, and it is hoped that these records will compliment the Tithe map information in order to create a fuller picture of past environments. In addition, it will be possible for people who find out new information to pass this back to the Trust, which will allow us to enhance our records too. We hope that the Adnabod Ardudwy website will emphasise the success of an holistic approach to studies of the past, and demonstrate that by bringing together different information from different places we can learn far more.
