Summary

Summary text.

1 Introduction 1.1 Location and scope of work 1.1.1 An archaeological evaluation was conducted at [add details of location].

1.1.2 The work was designed to assist in defining the character and extent of any archaeological remains within the area, in accordance with the Jigsaw Cambridgeshire and Institute for Archaeologists' guidelines.

1.1.3 The site archive is currently held by the group/whoever (incl .address) and will be deposited with the appropriate county stores in due course.

1.2 Geology and topography 1.2.1 Describe geological and topographical setting.

1.3 Archaeological and historical background 1.3.1 Discuss archaeological context.

1.4 Acknowledgements 1.4.1 Acknowledge landowner(s) and participants and other professional/community support.

2 Aims and Methodology 2.1 Aims 2.1.1The objective of this [nature of intervention/work] was to determine as far as reasonably possible the presence/absence, location, nature, extent, date, quality, condition and significance of any surviving archaeological deposits within the area.

2.1.2[add further details as appropriate}

2.2 Methodology 2.2.1Machine excavation was carried out under constant archaeological supervision with a wheeled JCB- type excavator using a toothless ditching bucket (if applicable). If not, how did you dig it, if you were excavating?

2.2.2Spoil, exposed surfaces and features were scanned with a metal detector. All metal-detected and hand-collected finds were retained for inspection, other than those which were obviously modern.

2.2.3All archaeological features and deposits were recorded using the group/Jigsaw Cambridgeshire/OAE's pro-forma sheets. Trench locations, plans and sections were recorded at appropriate scales and colour and monochrome photographs were taken of all relevant features and deposits.

2.2.4Provide details of any environmental sampling undertaken and/or relevant factors.

2.2.5Describe site conditions (wet/dry/raining etc.)

3 Results 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1Discuss how results are presented.

3.2 Sub-heading (e.g. Trench 1, or Trenches in Field A, etc....) 3.2.1Text NB full details by trench/context appear in Appendix A

3.3 Sub-heading (e.g. Trench 2, or Trenches in Field B, etc....) 3.3.1Text

3.4 Finds Summary 3.4.1Summary of all artefactual evidence.

3.5 Environmental Summary 3.5.1Summary of all environmental evidence.

4 Discussion and Conclusions 4.1 Sub-heading 4.1.1Text.

4.2 Sub-heading 4.2.1Text.

4.3 Significance 4.3.1Outline the significance of the results.

4.4 Recommendations 4.4.1What do you think your research should take you next based on what you have achieved for the project?
