OASIS is a online system for reporting archaeological investigations and linking research outputs and archives in the UK. Details of OASIS and the OASIS form can be found on the OASIS website.
If you have already entered details for your project into OASIS then your project will have been given an OASIS ID, which is formed from your organisations prefix and followed by a number e.g. acarchae2-52671, yorkarch1-87126, etc.
If you are unsure what the OASIS ID for you project is then you can log in to OASIS and search for it.
