No medieval emphasis. Desk-based archaeological assessment and field evaluation of development sites has become a familiar exercise over the past decade or so. Not all early examples of what we might now call desk-based assessments or field evaluations were carried out as systematically or as rigorously as they are today. Collectively, however, the experience that has been accumulated around the country has brought to archaeological resource management a set of approaches and methodologies which goes a logn way towards providing the information that curators of the resource need in order to take informed views about the preservation, conservation, and management of archaeological remains.
This report is based on a systematic survey of archaeological contractors and curators carrying out desk-based assessments and field evaluations between 1982 and 1991. In parallel with this national review, a detailed study of the application and efficacy of field evaluation procedures in the counties of Hampshire and Berkshire comprises volume 3 of the Planning for the Past studies, Decision-making and Field Methods in Archaeological Evaluation. The report on that project is complementary to this volume, and the two should be read in conjunction.
