Abstract
Chepstow's archaeology in danger: a demonstrable need for rescue today?
Stephen H Clarke
Philomena Jackson
Reg Jackson
4 - 5
An example of the way in which remains of great potential value can slip through the net of archaeological provision. The general feeling had been that Chepstow could reveal little in the way of early medieval occupation. However, recent building work undertaken at Bridge Street, without a concurrent watching brief, may have destroyed vital deposits from this era, along with earlier and later layers. Monmouth Archaeological Society performed eleventh hour rescue work, attempting to salvage whatever possible. In the aftermath of this, the practical application of PPG16 in Wales and other forms of archaeological provision are challenged.
Rescue excavations on the A41, Hertfordshire
T McDonald
6 - 7
Details discoveries made at sites along the proposed stretch of road by-passing Berkhampstead and Kings Langley. A six month excavation period was allocated within the road construction schedule and revealed a high incidence of Neolithic to Bronze Age data along with the anticipated Iron Age, Roman and recent material.
Archaeology in Bristol -- an update
Bob Jones
Projects undertaken prior to the Field Archaeology Section's abandonment by Bristol City Council in February 1992 have enabled it to carry on with work in the Castle grounds, and in advance of the construction of a visitor centre at the Cathedral. Work at the castle is summarised in a separate article (see also 93/611). Activity in the Cathedral grounds (see also 93/576) has produced evidence of the twelfth century Augustine abbey, fourteenth century cellarium, and the later Minster House.
Exciting new discoveries at Bristol Castle
Bruce Williams
As part of current work in Bristol (see also 93/221), the eleven acre Castle Park has revealed further information on the castle structure and curtain wall. The re-discovery of St Edith's Well should provide a focal point for the revamped Park.
PPG16 one year on
Jean Mellor
Comment on English Heritage report regarding progress of PPG16, based on interviews and information from archaeologists and developers. There is a need to alleviate the paperwork load of staff involved in planning advice, and a noticeable variation in the application of PPG16 from county to county. It is thought too early to evaluate the document's effect on site preservation, and it is noted that fewer large scale projects are undertaken as archaeologists concentrate on evaluation work. There is a call for an increase in core staff to assess the significance of evaluations and devise long-term research strategies.
London again
Rob Young
A comment on the demise of the DGLA and DUA and their replacement with the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS). Assurances that governmental commitment to the service, and to the efficient implementation of PPG16, will ensure that London retains a solid base of archaeological expertise have been given. However, the reality of continuing staff cutbacks in general, along with their effect on the development of an adequate SMR for London, cause concern.
