Abstract:		 The water level, a flexible U-tube filled with water and left open at both ends, will quickly and accurately reveal differences in level between two points. It can be used to set up a horizontal datum line or to read off, against a vertical scale, differences in height between two points. Transparent polythene tubing about 6-7 mm diameter is suitable, and up to 15 metres long it is easy to handle. A metal-shod measuring staff, say 2 metres in length, contains a channel into which the tube fits tightly, and has a plumb-bob or spirit-level attached. Various precautions such as the exclusion of bubbles from the tube must be observed. See also Cynthia Irwin-Williams, The use of a simple water level as an intra-site levelling device, Amer Antiquity, 35, 1970, 109-10.
