Abstract: |
3.0 METHODS STATEMENT
3.1 Should any archaeological horizons or features be exposed during the 2005 summit works, therefore, they will be cleaned by hand and photographed and recorded using our normal recording forms and procedures. Levels will be taken throughout and related to Ordnance Datum (BM on the west face of the tower). If necessary, the contractors will need to make time available for these procedures before depositing hardcore or laying concrete.
Any archaeological features or deposits exposed during the 2005 works will need to be planned at a scale of 1:20. Even if these features were previously recorded during the 1960s excavations, re-planning should take place so that comparisons can be made between any original plans and the present state of preservation of archaeological features, horizons or deposits.
If any archaeological sections or profiles of archaeological features exposed during the 2005 works are required, an archaeological section or profile will be drawn at a scale of 1:10.
3.2 The construction works on the new paths will need to be monitored so that any archaeological features or horizons connected with the terraces, should they be present, can be properly recorded. Observations of maintenance works and comparison with Phillip Rahtz excavation report demonstrates the significant loss of archaeological horizons on the summit.
Report incorporates analysis of the Tower by Jerry Sampson.
Repaving of the footpath provided an opportunity to test the theory that the terraces on The Tor form a maze.
In order to do this, each terrace was recorded as an individual feature. This was sufficient to disprove the maze theory. |
