Abstract: |
All fieldwork was undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the OA Field Manual (ed. D Wilkinson 1992), and the revised OA fieldwork manual (publication forthcoming).
Further guidance is provided to all excavators in the form of the OA 'Fieldwork Crib Sheets - a companion guide to the Fieldwork Manual'. These have been issued ahead of formal publication of the revised Fieldwork Manual. In July 2014, Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook an archaeological watching brief during the installation of a new damp proof membrane along the west range of the Radcliffe Quadrangle at University College, Oxford. The work did not require planning consent and therefore no brief was issued by Oxford City Council (OCC) and no written scheme of investigation (WSI) was prepared. The work was commissioned by Dr Roland Harris, the archaeological consultant for University College, and was undertaken in accordance with standard OA watching brief methodology.
The watching brief revealed the construction cut for the east wall of the cellar of the west range of the quad, which was constructed between 1675 and 1676. Additionally, a series of imported garden soils and landscaping deposits were revealed. |
