Extensive Urban Survey - Essex: Historic Towns Assessment Report

Essex County Council Archaeological Department (now Essex County Council Historic Environment Branch) launched the Essex Historical Towns Survey in 1995, as part of the national EUS programme instigated and funded by English Heritage. The project comprised a survey of all the smaller towns in Essex, including the area that is now the Thurrock Unitary Authority. The intention was to provide high quality information about the archaeological potential of towns for archaeologists and local planning authorities. Between 1995 and 1999 thirty-two towns were surveyed in Essex. Colchester was subject to a separate survey, undertaken by Colchester Museum.

埃塞克斯郡议会考古部门（现更名为埃塞克斯郡议会历史环境分部）于1995年启动埃塞克斯历史城镇调查项目，该项目作为由英格兰遗产（English Heritage）发起并资助的国家级EUS计划的组成部分。本次项目涵盖对埃塞克斯郡所有小型城镇的考古调查，包括如今的瑟罗克单一管理区所辖范围，旨在为考古学家与地方规划主管部门提供关于城镇考古潜力的高质量调研资料。1995年至1999年间，埃塞克斯郡共计完成32座城镇的考古调查。科尔切斯特则接受了由科尔切斯特博物馆开展的独立专项调查。
