There is more widespread involvement in GIS, particularly within local government departments. A similar picture is seen with syntheses, although with a smaller confirmed digital component. Individual returns indicate that computer-generated pictures are quite extensively created in HE, local government, national bodies and, to a lesser extent, amongst consultants and contracting field archaeologists. The responses from organisations, however, show that field units have the greatest involvement in digital imaging. The response for information on teaching material was low, although not confined solely to the HE sector, as field archaeologists, consultants and museum archaeologists also carry out some teaching and some use computers to prepare materials.
Museums offer the greatest amount of material in digital form.
Overall, computers may not be widely used for illustration and preparation of teaching material. There was a strong response from the museums sector, and in general these are the areas where museums tend to be creating and using digital datasets. Collections management information is important for ongoing projects, although how much and in what form this information is passed to the final project holder must vary greatly. There were few responses regarding exhibition catalogues, and the majority of these are presumably created in paper form. Additionally, archaeological project archives are created in digital form particularly by consultants.
