Good.
Ignore the comments from people who say it took them a day.
OK you have covered all the basic bases and what you are asking is what to actually write.
Dont pad out the text. This is very common with people doing there first DBA.
The report is meant to be read by none archaeologists - planning officers, elected members and the client. You are not writing for a curator. Make sure the text is in plain english and include a glossary of technical terms.
If this is a development type dba highlight the development area with a highlighter pen.
Better still get all the maps at the same scale. This is actually simple and quick but will be time consumming the first time you do it.
Turn the file into a PDF and email to be me for quality control. (This has to be before 16:00 today for a definite response tomorrow) send me what you have.
Get somebody else to proof read a hard copy.

(PAW has a very sore head this afternoon as I was 50 yesterday and tonight I'm having a party and will be drinking from a beaker. So time is short and there is a very narrow time time window for me to read the DBA.)
