| Title | Norwich Castle Museum Record Card - Upper Palaeolithic |
| Author/Originator | Clarke, R. R. and NCM Staff |
| Date/Year | 1933-1973 |
Description
A card index of sites and finds accompanied by 6-inch (1:10,560) Ordnance Survey maps used to record locations and later accompanied by supplementary files containing drawings, photographs, and notes. The cards are organized by archaeological period and then by parish. The index was begun by Roy Rainbird Clarke (1914-1963) around 1933, when he became the Norfolk correspondent for the Ordnance Survey, and brought to the Norwich Castle in 1946 when he joined the staff there. Following R.R. Clarke's death, the index was given to the Norwich Castle Museum and continued by its staff until 1973, when it was used to create two new indexes based on a site numbering system: one for Norwich that was maintained at the Norwich Castle Museum (SNF87213), and one for the remainder of the county that was maintained by the newly formed Norfolk Archaeological Unit at Gressenhall (SNF57722).
