File naming Convention
I have used the following notation in naming files on the website.
Hopefully I have been consistent but there may be exceptions (errors).
The following shows how a filename SH07 CNE T01 D015 North Facing Section of Posthole is built up.
- 1) Season eg SH07 : (SH=SHARP) and Season (07=2007)
- 2) Site eg CNE (CNE=Chalkpit North Evaluation)
- 3) Location/Trench eg T01 (T01 = Trench 1)
- 4) Item ref. eg Dnnn : Drawing Number (D001 = Drawing 1)
- 5) Description of Plan/Section/Photo
- Optionally:
- 6) Original source (S01 = Permatrace sheet 1; F02 = Film roll 2)
