An urban archaeological database (UAD) provides a typically comprehensive and dynamic record of archaeological excavations and discoveries within a defined historic town or city. It may also summarise all published and unpublished documentation about a city’s archaeology and its immediate environs.

UADs aid planning decisions and provide an educational and research tool. A UAD can also be used to assess the archaeological potential and importance of proposed development sites within a city. Many UADs are linked to a Geographic Information System (GIS) and display numerous different layers of information on a map base. This can provide the local authority an up-to-date record of the location and state of the archaeology in the area.

Typically, a UAD may include individual buildings and structures – houses, commercial, civic, religious and industrial buildings, streets and railways – whether past or present.

Many UADs were started in the 1990s with support and funding from English Heritage. In many cases, it has made more sense to incorporate UADs with, and access them through, a Historic Environment Record (HER, sometimes referred to as a Sites and Monuments Records (SMR)). The combined resource provides a comprehensive record of archaeological assets within an urban area. In some cases, UADs are held as separate entities.
