Its two layers of holyhocks trying to reinforce a jobs worth of nothing. anybody staring at somebody digging a foundation is not archaeology, let the builders report anything. if you want archaeology you have to evaluate. Please show me a single museum mantel piece littered with the product of ANY curaTORS STIPULATIONS in the last yten years that we are proud of??
We got:
-some mosaic during a sewer renewal
-three square barrows with grave goods, two round barrows, one with later cremations with posh grave goods and nearly complete burial urns, RB and anglo-saxon settlement with bucket loads of pottery (including six new fabrics), bone combs, Anglo-Saxon smithy......not to mention expanding info on neolithic and BA pits in the area, during a pipeline
-double barrow, neolithic to RB settlement next to a marsh on a Watching Brief.
Just as starters. All three of the above were on curators stipulations and wouldn't have happened otherwise
