Quote:quote:Negative results are still results. It is just as important to know where things aren't as where they are. So, still worth putting in the public domain (although I agree that a report saying 'nothing was found' does not make exciting reading).
Sure, if they are really negative.
On these sites though a more accurate description would be 'lots of archaeology there (see evaluation report) but nothing more learnt from watching brief because the brief specified that formation levels would be above the good stuff. The developers have been ever so good and promised that they'll follow it to the letter without supervision, or maybe phone us if they have to dig massive trenches because the piles are hitting obstructions, or at least let us look at the upcast from the piles to see what kind of preserved wooden structures are getting destroyed'
