Site Evaluation
|
This stage of work can follow the Desk
Based Assessment as the next stage in the formal process
of archaeological assessment. Alternatively it can form the first stage
of the works where the archaeological potential of the development area is
known. Evaluation allows the local authority involved to seek further
information about the built or buried remains on a site. Evaluation techniques are varied and can involve one or a mix of the
following techniques, Trial Trenching, Test Pitting, Geophysics, Walk Over
Survey, and Standing Building
Survey. Once an evaluation has been conducted we produce a report detailing any findings and containing recommendations on how to proceed. |

The identification of archaeological remains at this point does not
necessarily mean that further excavations have to take place. We have
extensive experience in dealing with clients, where we have been able to
suggest changes to site layout and even foundation construction which have
alleviated the need for further excavation. SUAT carries out many evaluations every year, ranging from small urban
redevelopment schemes to green field sites to massive urban redevelopments,
such as the Scottish Parliament development. For more details contact us. Services
