Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In November 1990 the mechanism for recording archaeological sites in advance of their destruction by development, a process commonly called rescue archaeology in the 1970s and 80s, underwent a fundamental change in England with the introduction of Planning Policy Guidance Note 16: Archaeology and Planning (PPG 16. This set out a clear presumption in favour of the physical preservation of archaeological remains, but where this was not possible it required developers, rather than the state, to pay for archaeological investigations associated with developments that required planning permission.In the decade following the introduction of PPG 16 investigations prompted by the planning process accounted for 89% of all archaeological interventions in England. In order to address the hidden value of much commercial work, in 2007 English Heritage commissioned Cotswold Archaeology and the University of Reading to examine the research dividend that could be gained from a study of grey literature relating to investigations that have discovered Roman remains in England, and investigate ways of bridging the gap between individual typescript reports in the Historic Environment Record (HER) and overarching regional or national syntheses.\r\nThe considerable amount of archaeology funded by developers has clearly brought major advances in our understanding of Roman Essex, although inevitably progress has not been uniform. Knowledge or rural settlement has clearly benefited most.The grey literature reinforces and complements the published accounts; it is a source which must be considered in all future research on Roman Essex. | ||||
