An index of the data held by the Norfolk HER is available online, but this gives only the artefact types recorded at each site. Determination of the quantity of each artefact type found at the site required consultation of the paper archive at the HER offices in Gressenhall. The data recorded in the HER have been gathered over a number of decades and are of extremely high quality, with artefacts reliably identified in detailed entries, and securely dated. The support of the Norfolk HER staff is gratefully acknowledged, in particular Andrew Rogerson and Alice Cattermole, whose support and advice were of great benefit to the project. A considerable amount of effort was devoted to the entry and processing of these data into the VASLE 'Sites dataset', and most of it is published in detail for the first time in this context.
