This paper describes the process of modelling archaeological data as used within the Centre for Archaeology with the aim of using digital technologies to improve recording techniques and the resultant site documentation. This includes the development of a domain ontological model to describe the data and act as the basis for system design and evolution. The paper will discuss the use of semantic web technologies and place the CfA work on the ontology within the wider sectoral context of archaeological research and other cultural heritage work in England and Europe.
