pdurdin Wrote:Potgeek, are you suggesting a high quality pot report ought to include some interpretation as well as dating information? This would also tie in with Redexile's points about pot specialists being more involved with the fieldwork (don't remember if it's in the thread or his linked article), right?
Don't everyone provide specialists with a background info report (ie a site description/narrative/matrices/comments from the excavator geared to what they'll be needing to know)? Actually by coincidence from Monday have a merry week producing one largely so CC can understand a few boxes of pot he's got from a rather complicated job I did 2011/12. What's the point of a pot report not tied to the strat? Residuality is a big issue on many/most sites and a good pot report can usually shoot holes in interpretations based purely on spot-dating which can be highly untrustworthy
