Very much worth a read... as is the later link to the Nosterfield Diary.
This document provides an assessment of the soil features (both archaeological and natural in origin) that have been identified, excavated and recorded during the removal of topsoil deposits at the Ladybridge Farm Quarry site. The archaeological investigations have been carried out under the terms and conditions set out in the written scheme of investigation (WSI) which was prepared by Mike Griffiths & Associates in consultation with English Heritage and North Yorkshire County Council and approved by the local planning authority in October 2008 (Timms, 2008).
Topsoil removal commenced at the north-western end of Area 3 on the 9th September 2009 (see Figure 2), fieldwork being completed on the 21st December 2009. It is expected that as the phased investigation of the excavation areas progresses the results from the work will be incorporated in a single document, which will act as a generic account of the results of the archaeological investigations within the application area.
The work has been undertaken by Mike Griffiths & Associates on behalf of Tarmac Northern Ltd. In accordance with the WSI, the fieldwork has been undertaken in a transparent and open manner. This has involved a weekly update to a site diary on the Nosterfield website (www.archaeologicalplanningconsultancy.co.uk/thornborough (http://www.archaeologicalplanningconsultancy.co.uk/thornborough)), along with the digital photographic archive also being made available during the progress of fieldwork.
