Jack Wrote:-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.
I'm not knocking what sounds like a great result, but would I be correct in assuming that it was the result of a monitoring condition following unexpectedly blank evaluation results? If I was the client, I would have been asking why no one was able to give me an inkling that such riches were there before I started work and had to wait for the archaeologists to mop them up. Unless we're talking about strip and record, which is a different kettle of fish.
