This advice is for developers, owners, archaeologists and planners
working on projects where the intention is to retain and protect
archaeological sites beneath or within the development. It can also
be read in relation to other land-use or site management work. It
has a particular focus on decision-taking on waterlogged
archaeological sites. The emphasis throughout is on the benefits
gained, both to sustainable development and the archaeological
resource from understanding: • the significance and current state
of preservation of the archaeological material • the potential
development impacts of the proposed scheme • (in relation to
sites containing waterlogged archaeological remains) the
availability and quality of water necessary to sustain the
long-term future of those sites. It also highlights the likely
range of information needed to fully assess these issues and the
benefits of pre-application discussion and assessment to promote a
viable way forward for sustainable development on what can often be
complex sites. Whilst particular sections of this document are
focused on waterlogged archaeological sites, the core themes within
this advice note, of prior preservation and impact assessment are
relevant to all sites. Additional methodological detail and
technical advice is provided in the appendices.
