Characterising Scotland's Marine Archaeological Resource
Published: 2012-01-01
Subjects: Marine Archaeology
This report seeks to provide an understanding of the located marine archaeological asset record through interrogation of all the records from the NMRS that were classified as maritime, the records in the NMRS for infrastructure in a marine setting, principally sea-washed lighthouses, and any other assets in the NMRS found in a fully marine (i.e. not intertidal) environment.
Castor, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-12-01
Subjects: Romano-British Structure
Time Team’s work aimed to clarify the layout of the Praetorium and to phase the development of the buildings. In this the evaluation was only partially successful. Four of the five trenches were positioned in areas which had been previously excavated, and there proved to be a lack of stratified dateable artefacts which could be used to phase the different elements of the building complex.

Langport Ranges, High Ham, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-10-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Settlement, Roman Villa
The evaluation was successful in its stated aims in providing a detailed geophysical plan of the wider area around the villa, identifying that it was a much larger complex than initially thought, and by identifying at least two phases of villa construction. The earliest phase is potentially dated on artefactual evidence to the late 2nd to early 3rd centuries AD, but remains slightly ambiguous as [...]

Published: 2011-07-01
Subjects: Romano-British Defences, Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure
Cunetio is a Scheduled Monument (AM666) of national importance. Aerial photographs and early geophysical survey, coupled with very limited excavation, have established the ground plan of the town but almost nothing is known of its significance and changing form during the Roman period. The project aimed to carry out a limited programme of non-intrusive investigations and evaluation trenching [...]

Tottiford Reservoir - Dartmoor National Park, Devon - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-06-01
Subjects: Mesolithic Flint Scatter, Prehistoric Artefacts, Prehistoric Ceremony
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ at the site of Tottiford Reservoir, Dartmoor National Park, Devon. Lower than usual water levels in 2009 had led to the identification of a previously unknown stone circle, as well as two stone alignments and a number of possible cairns. An evaluation comprising twelve trenches provided an opportunity to investigate these [...]
Palaeolithic Material from Dunbridge, Hampshire - Deposit Modelling Report
Published: 2011-04-01
Subjects: Geoarchaeology, Palaeolithic Flint
The results have demonstrated that there are two distinct Pleistocene terrace deposits within the study area. An upper terrace, original called the Dunbridge Unit, can with confidence be related to the Belbin Stage, which is supported by the high number of Palaeolithic finds recovered from it. A lower terrace, original called the Barley Hill Unit, can be related to the Mottisfont Stage. The [...]

Subjects: Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by to investigate the site of a watermill recorded in Domesday Book (1086).
