The primary research resource for British & Irish archaeology

The British & Irish Archaeological Bibliography is now biab online.

biab online exists to support research work of all kinds. It provides bibliographic references - many with abstracts - covering all aspects of archaeology and the historic environment, and every chronological period, with a geographical focus on Britain and Ireland. There are almost 200,000 references from over three centuries of scholarship - with over 1,500 new records added each year. The biab online service now includes:

• User accounts & saved search results facilities
• Export of search results in html, pdf or BibTex format
• Over 55,000 grey literature references from England's Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP)

biab online coverage provides references to: online & hard-copy publications; local, regional, national & international publications; books, articles, conference proceedings & grey literature. It is a service of the Council for British Archaeology, run with the support of all major historic environment sector organisations from UK and Ireland.
