Archaeological fieldwork, from geophysics to full scale excavation, should result in a report so that the body of archaeological knowledge at a given location can be accessed by future workers. Some of these reports can be fully published in a peer-reviewed journal such as our own Surrey Archaeological Collections, but the vast majority of fieldwork results in an unpublished report. Much of this work is either carried out by county archaeology units or commercial contracting organisations. This is especially the case since the original introduction of PPG16 (now replaced by the National Planning Policy Framework : NPPF) into planning regulations, as planning-inspired archaeology generally leads to such a report.
A trip to the Isle of Wight to visit Newport and Brading Roman villas is planned for 29th September. The programme is below and if you are interested please contact John Felton -
