Generic brief for an archaeological watching brief or small-scale investigation
7. Post-excavation methodology
For most watching briefs / small-scale investigations it will be sufficient to complete an illustrated final report for the HER, publish a summary note and deposit the archive (see below).
For projects which have produced results of significant county, regional or national importance, archaeological contractors will need to submit:
- an illustrated interim report
- a post-excavation assessment
- an updated project design
These need to be submitted and approved by the Council Archaeology Service within 6 months of the completion of fieldwork.
Post-excavation analysis and report preparation should proceed in accordance with the agreed updated project design unless subsequent variations are agreed by the Council Archaeology Service.
