Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project background 1.1.1 Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by CgMs Consulting to prepare a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) defining a programme of heritage and archaeological mitigation, prior to and during the demolition and redevelopment at the Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 387689 217449, (Hereafter “the Site) (Figure 1).

1.1.2 Planning permission (Reference 11/00742/OUT) with draft outline Conditions, has been granted by Gloucestershire County Council, the local planning authority (LPA) for demolition of existing buildings and erection of 53 dwellings together with associated estate roads and public open space.

1.1.3 As part of the pre-commencement works it is necessary to demolish the former Hucclecote Secondary School and clear the site of foundations, surfaces and topsoil. Draft Condition 17 requires a programme of below-ground archaeological investigation and reporting. Draft Condition 18 requires archaeological monitoring and recording during ground works. Draft Condition 19 requires a programme of historic building recording and reporting of significant elements of the historic built environment prior to demolition.

1.1.4 Following consultation with the LPA in regard of the site clearance with Andrew Armstrong, the Gloucester City Archaeologist, specific Briefs were issued, under existing Policies, to address the required Heritage mitigation work. A portion of the Scheduled Monument of Hucclecote Roman Villa (SM188) lies within the northern edge of the Site. Scheduled Monument Consent will be required for works within the Scheduled Area of Monument No.188 for which an application is to be submitted. The nature of the works and scope of the archaeological response within the area of the Monument have been discussed and agreed with the Inspector of Ancient Monuments, Melanie Barge of English Heritage, and form part of this WSI which is to be submitted alongside the application for Scheduled Monument Consent.

1.1.5 This WSI sets out the strategy and methodology by which Wessex Archaeology will implement the programme of heritage and archaeological mitigation. This WSI has been prepared in accordance with best practice and has been submitted by Wessex Archaeology on behalf of CgMs to the City Archaeologist, for approval prior to the commencement of the building recording and fieldwork.

1.2 Location, topography and geology 1.2.1 The Site is located in the Hucclecote area of Gloucester, c. 5km to the east of the City centre and south-west of the junction of the A417 and the M5. Principal access is gained from Churchdown Lane, which borders the Site to the west. 3 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

1.2.2 To the north of the site is an open field, now in use as a recreation ground, to the south is the residential housing of Buscombe Gardens, to the east is the northbound slip road from the M5 to the A417. The site is approximately 40m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). The Site comprises the later 20th-century former school buildings with surrounding car- parking, playing field and landscaped areas.

1.2.3 The underlying geology comprises blue Lias clays and mudstone of the Charmouth formation, overlying Cheltenham Sand and Gravels (BGS 2011).

2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The archaeological and historical background to the Site and surrounding area has been presented in some detail within an archaeological desk-based assessment and historic building appraisal (Stratford 2011a). This was followed in the same year by an archaeological evaluation carried out in two stages (Stratford 2011b). These documents should be read in conjunction with this WSI. A brief summary of the most relevant results from the evaluation is provided below.

2.2 Archaeological background 2.2.1 The Site lies within an area of intensive archaeological activity where evidence of Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British settlement has been recorded at depths of between 0.2m and 1.3m below ground level. The Site incorporates part of the southern boundary of the Hucclecote Roman Villa Scheduled Monument (SM 188) which intersects with the development Site, while the remainder of the Site lies within the wider villa landscape, where further buildings, trackways and systems of enclosures and settlement evidence have been recorded in previous investigations (Clifford 1933; Clifford 1961; Atkin 1989; Thomas et al 2003).

2.2.2 The construction of Hucclecote school, an adjacent path along its northern edge and some brick outbuildings (of which the concrete slab floors survive) are likely to have already resulted in a degree of truncation of the natural, or any archaeological levels present (previous topsoil having probably been removed to facilitate construction of school and adjacent infrastructure).

2.2.3 No archaeological features or deposits dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age were recorded during the 2011 evaluation which may either suggest that activity of this date, which has previously been recorded c.60m to the north (Stratford 2011a), does not extend into the Site or that it was not encountered in the 18 trenches.

2.2.4 The evaluation recorded significant archaeological features in 10 of the 18 trenches. The uppermost levels of the archaeological deposits were recorded, cutting the natural geology, at depths of between 0.4m and 0.9m below ground level and between 37.38m and 39.06m AOD.

2.2.5 The earliest features and deposits recorded dated to the Romano-British period and were confined to the open areas to the east of the Hucclecote Centre buildings, with no features of Romano-British date recorded in the western half of the Site. Similarly, no features of this date were recorded at the eastern edge of the Site, with the easternmost evaluation trenches being archaeologically sterile.

4 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

2.2.6 Although tentative evidence of structures in the form of two possible wall foundations and a possible beam slot were recorded, the evidence of Romano-British activity was dominated by a series of ditches and landscape features. The ditches were generally aligned north to south or east to west and dating evidence from the features suggests continued activity from the 2nd to the 4th century.

2.2.7 A single possible feature of Anglo-Saxon date was recorded in one of the eastern trenches. The broad linear feature may represent a former trackway or the accumulation of post-Romano-British soils. The feature was dated only by a single sherd of Anglo- Saxon pottery and was only partially exposed in the trench so any interpretation remains highly tentative, however it does provide the only evidence from the evaluation for continuity of activity beyond the Romano-British period.

2.2.8 No evidence for medieval settlement was recorded during the evaluation. Furrows deriving from ridge and furrow field systems were recorded on largely north to south and east to west alignments across the entire site, indicating that the site was in use as agricultural land during the medieval period.

2.2.9 Trenches immediately adjacent to the Hucclecote Centre provided some evidence for the impact of the building’s construction on possible archaeological deposits. There appeared to be little truncation of the natural geology in the landscaped areas surrounding the centre, with deposits of modern date generally overlying truncated agricultural subsoils. However, where services had been installed, and in trenches closest to the building, significant truncation of the natural geology was apparent (Stratford 2011b, 13 - 14).

3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

3.1.1 The heritage and archaeological mitigation works will take the form of a staged strategy to cover the various phases of demolition and development of the Site. The mitigation strategy is designed to preserve the archaeological remains by record, via methodologies appropriate to the significance of the archaeology and the potential impact of the proposed developments. No works will take place in the area of the Scheduled Monument (see Figure 1) until appropriate Consent has been received. The area of the SM will be fenced from the outset to prevent any impact on the buried remains from access or works.

 Stage 1 - Historic building recording of the school structures to English heritage Level 1. To take place as soon possession of the site is obtained and is only expected to last 2 days on-site.  Stage 2 - Area of archaeological strip, map and excavation (0.6ha area) to take place in the south-east of the site, whilst or before demolition of school structures is taking place. Intermittent monitoring (watching brief) of the demolition will take place to ensure no inappropriate ground reduction takes place, particularly in the area of the SM.  Stage 3 - Further archaeological evaluation of the central and western areas of the site as per Figure 1. This is to take place once the school area has been demolished to slab level.  Stage 4 - Further targeted Strip Map excavation to take place if the evaluation trenching in the central and western areas of the site reveals archaeological remains.

5 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

 Stage 5 - Archaeological watching brief required on the conversion of the existing car park area back to green space at the north-east of the site, to take place as and when the groundworks are being undertaken. The principal aim of the watching brief area is to retain archaeological remains in situ. The watching brief should ensure that any archaeological remains inadvertently exposed during the works are recorded.  Stage 6 - Archaeological reporting and post-excavation assessment for the heritage and archaeological mitigation works. To take place off-site on completion of all fieldwork. 3.1.2 Evaluation trenching and detailed sample excavation will take place where archaeological remains are known or where below-ground impacts will occur or where no previous archaeological monitoring has taken place. The results of the evaluation trenching may lead to further strip, map and excavation. In the areas of the watching brief, further mitigation may become necessary, dependant on the results of this stage. This will be agreed in consultation with the City Archaeologist and an applicable addendum or update to this WSI will be produced.

3.1.3 Arrangements with the Client will be made in order that due notice of the commencement of groundworks is provided to Wessex Archaeology so that an appropriate opportunity is allowed for the City Archaeologist or English Heritage Inspector to monitor the archaeological investigation, and recording works, as necessary.

3.1.4 It is currently proposed that groundworks will commence at the beginning of April 2014.

3.2 Scheduled Monument Area 3.2.1 In terms of the works proposed within the SM area, this is to comprise the removal of existing concrete floor slabs and paths adjacent to the northern edge of the school buildings, followed by backfilling with topsoil prior to laying turf. It has been confirmed with the contractor Barrat’s that the intention in this area is therefore to only remove recent made ground, a nominal depth of impact for which is indicated at 250mm.

3.2.2 In terms of the anticipated archaeologically sensitive horizon, adjacent evaluation undertaken to the east would indicate this to lie at 38.36m aOD falling to 37.90m aOD to the south-west. Existing ground level within the area of the SM falls from c.38.7m aOD at its intersection with the site, to 38.40m aOD at the surface of the path adjacent to the existing school building.

3.2.3 In light of the above, it could be anticipated that pertinent archaeological levels could be exposed immediately beneath any made ground created for the paths or former outbuildings. If or where, any archaeological horizon is exposed, excavation will cease and the area will then be subject to infilling with the appropriate soil required to establish the grassland. This will therefore ensure that no archaeological levels present will be subject to damage, beyond initial exposure.

4 STAGE 1 – HISTORIC BUILDING RECORDING

4.1 Photographic record 4.1.1 The former Hucclecote Centre, previously Hucclecote Secondary School, is considered a heritage asset of local historical importance and will be recorded prior to demolition with provision made for appropriate archiving and public dissemination of the findings.

4.1.2 The building recording and reporting will in principle be compliant with a Level 1 basic visual record as described in Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2006).

4.1.3 A high quality photographic record will be made using a digital camera (with 21 megapixel capability). A photographic scale will be included in all general and specific detailed views where appropriate.

4.1.4 Where appropriate, such as where there are strong light sources from a single direction, high dynamic range (HDR) coverage will be deployed to ensure optimum results.

4.1.5 All photographic views will be recorded on site on copies of the ‘as existing’ site plans. These will be complemented by photographic registers which will, as a minimum, give the direction of the view, location and a brief description of the subject.

4.1.6 A selection of the digital photographic record will be used to illustrate the report. Plans showing the location of photographic plates will be included as figures in the report.

4.1.7 The full photographic record, together with copies of the marked-up plans and the photo gazetteer will be included in the site archive.

4.2 Written record 4.2.1 A rapid written and photographic record of the Hucclecote Centre buildings may include detail of:

 form, scale and massing  structure and materials  evidence of repair, alteration or adaptation  relationship to other buildings and structures

4.2.2 Reporting will follow the procedure described in section 8.1 below.

5 STAGES 2 & 4 – STRIP, MAP AND EXCAVATION

5.1.1 Topsoil and subsoils will be stripped mechanically using a tracked mechanical excavator fitted with a wide, toothless (flat bladed) grading bucket. The topsoil and subsoils will be separated and stockpiled at a safe working distance from the stripped area.

5.1.2 The number of archaeological monitors on site at any one time will be proportionate to allow continued monitoring of all excavators operating at any one time. This will commence with a ratio of one monitoring archaeologist to each operating, excavating machine. This ratio will be kept under review during the works and may be varied if

7 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

continued archaeological monitoring is considered to be unnecessary for specific areas or activities. The decision to vary archaeological monitoring requirements must be agreed in advance by CgMs, and the Gloucester City Archaeologist.

5.1.3 Mechanical excavation equipment shall be used judiciously under archaeological supervision down to construction depth, the first significant archaeological horizon or natural subsoil, whichever is encountered first. Mechanical excavators and other construction plant should not track or drive over an area that has been stripped until an archaeologist has confirmed that no archaeological remains are present. If necessary, areas of archaeological remains should be fenced off to prevent inadvertent damage.

5.1.4 The machine should be halted should archaeological deposits be encountered, and the archaeologist should be given reasonable time to investigate and record any archaeological material identified as appropriate. The top of the first significant archaeological horizon may be exposed by machine, but will then be cleaned by hand as necessary and inspected for features.

5.1.5 Once topsoil stripping is completed, if archaeological features are identified extending beyond the limits of excavation, the excavation area will be reviewed, although it may not be possible to extend the excavation area. The exceptions to this will be where human remains are identified and cannot be preserved in situ, and where best practice is to maintain the integrity of an individual; or Treasure where artefacts would otherwise be at risk of theft.

5.1.6 A sufficient sample of any archaeological features and deposits revealed will be hand excavated in an archaeologically controlled and stratigraphic manner, in order to establish their extent, form, date, function and relationship to other features. The complete excavation of features is not regarded as necessary; a sufficient sample should be investigated to understand the full stratigraphic sequence of each feature, down to naturally occurring deposits. The various types of features and deposits will be subject to the following sampling levels:

 Any deposits relating to funerary/ritual activity (e.g. burials, cremations) and domestic/industrial activity (post-holes, hearths, floor surfaces/floor make-up deposits) will be investigated by removing a 100% sample of the deposit from each feature.  Pits will require a minimum of a 50% sample of the deposits from each feature, but a 100% sample may be necessary should significant assemblages of finds be present; linear features (eg, ditches/gullies, paths/tracks) will require a minimum of a 20% sample of the deposits from each feature.  There may be cases when individual features do not merit these sampling levels. Any sampling variations would need to be approved in advance by the City Archaeologist following on-site discussion.

6 STAGE 3 – EVALUATION

6.1.1 The archaeological evaluation works will be carried out in accordance with the relevant guidance given in the Institute for Archaeologist's Standard and Guidance for Field Evaluation (revised 2008).

8 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

6.1.2 Eight 30m trenches, three 20m trenches and two 15m trenches are proposed to be excavated following demolition of the existing school buildings (Figure 1).

6.1.3 The excavation, recording and sampling methodology for the evaluation trenches will be as specified in this document (Sections 6 & 9).

7 STAGE 5 – WATCHING BRIEF

7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 The archaeological watching brief stage will be carried out in accordance with the relevant guidance given in the Institute for Archaeologist's Standard and Guidance for Watching Briefs (revised 2008).

7.1.2 It is proposed that the programme of archaeological monitoring will comprise the removal of existing car-park hardstanding at the north-east of the Site prior to its conversion back to open green-space within the proposed development. Archaeological mapping, and sample excavation will be undertaken for any archaeological features and or deposits that may be present.

7.1.3 The City Archaeologist and English Heritage Inspector will be kept up to date on the progress, nature and depth of the groundworks, so that the most appropriate programme of monitoring can be undertaken in accordance with the nature of the groundworks.

7.2 Methodology 7.2.1 Mechanical excavators will be used to remove the hardstanding with a qualified professional archaeologist in attendance. Machine excavation will continue until all the hardstanding has been removed. The depth of removal will be dependent on the depth of the hardstanding and it is not proposed to remove any other material (e.g. topsoil, subsoil, natural geology etc.) other than hardstanding. The area of the SM will be constantly monitored during stripping and fenced off when necessary, to prevent any impact on the buried remains.

7.2.2 On completion of machine excavation and where exposed surfaces are revealed these will be cleaned by hand where appropriate to discern if any archaeological features and or deposits are present and where they are present they will be mapped using a Total Station or GPS system.

7.2.3 The principal aim of the watching brief will be to preserve known buried archaeological remains in situ. Should any remains be inadvertently exposed, monitoring should be maintained to ensure that impact is limited, and suitable and appropriate recording is undertaken.

7.2.4 The principal aim of the watching brief area is to retain archaeological remains in situ. The watching brief should ensure that any archaeological remains inadvertently exposed during the works are recorded.

7.2.5 Should archaeological features or deposits be present they will be cleaned by hand and excavation and sampling will be undertaken as specified in this document (section 6.6), and will be sufficient to resolve the principal aims of the watching brief.

9 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

7.2.6 Should the impact of the hardstanding be consistently of such a depth that it has clearly compromised the potential for the survival of any archaeological remains then the City Archaeologist, English Heritage Inspector and Client will be informed as soon as possible so that the programme of monitoring can be reviewed and if necessary shortened in regard to site attendance and if appropriate curtailed.

7.2.7 The above strategy represents a minimum level of intervention. Should it not be possible to preserve the archaeological remains in situ, mitigation by excavation (as outlined in section 5) will be required in this area following agreement with the City Archaeologist, the English Heritage Inspector, the Client and Wessex Archaeology.

7.2.8 In the event of particularly significant discoveries, the City Archaeologist will be informed and a Site meeting between the City Archaeologist, the English Heritage Inspector, the Client and Wessex Archaeology will be held to determine the appropriate mitigation.

8 GENERAL

8.1 Recording 8.1.1 All exposed archaeological features and deposits will be recorded using Wessex Archaeology's pro forma recording sheets and recording system. Details of Wessex Archaeology's recording system are available on request.

8.1.2 A plan will be made of any archaeological features or deposits exposed within the SM area, however, these will remain unexcavated in order to retain preservation and integrity, prior to their backfilling.

8.1.3 Areas under archaeological observation will be surveyed using a Total Station/GPS and tied in to the Ordnance Survey.

8.1.4 A complete drawn record of excavated archaeological features and deposits will be compiled. This will include both plans and sections, drawn to appropriate scales (1:20 for plans, 1:10 for sections), and with reference to a Site grid tied to the Ordnance Survey National Grid. The Ordnance Datum (OD) height of all principal features and levels will be calculated and plans/sections will be annotated with OD heights.

8.1.5 A full photographic record will be maintained using digital photography. The photographic record will illustrate both the detail and the general context of the principal features, finds excavated, and the Site as a whole.

8.2 Human remains 8.2.1 In the event of discovery of any human remains, it is proposed that they will be fully recorded, excavated and removed from the Site, subject to compliance with the relevant Ministry of Justice Licence, which will be obtained by Wessex Archaeology. Removal will only take place under the terms of the appropriate Ministry of Justice licence (S25 of the Burial Act 1857) and with due regard for environmental health regulations. Such removal will be in compliance with the Disused Burial Grounds Amendment Act 1981 (where appropriate).

8.2.2 Should human remains be excavated, all excavation and post-excavation will be in accordance with the standards set out in IFA Technical Paper 13 Excavation and post-

10 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

excavation treatment of cremated and inhumed remains. Appropriate specialist guidance/Site visits will be undertaken by Jackie McKinley of Wessex Archaeology. The final placing of human remains following analysis will be subject to the requirements of the Ministry of Justice Licence.

8.3 Treasure 8.3.1 In the event of discovery of artefacts covered or potentially covered by The Treasure Act 1996 and Treasure (Designation) Order 2002, their excavation and removal will be undertaken following notification of the Client and the City Archaeologist.

8.4 Monitoring 8.4.1 The City Archaeologist and the English Heritage Inspector will be notified in writing at least three weeks prior to commencement of work on Site of the start date, which is currently due to commence in April 2014, and will be informed at this time by Wessex Archaeology of key staff.

8.4.2 Reasonable access to the Site will be arranged for representatives of the Local Planning Authority and their Archaeological Advisors and the English Heritage Inspector, who may wish to make Site inspections to ensure that the archaeological investigation is progressing satisfactorily.

9 FINDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL

9.1 Finds 9.1.1 Finds will be treated in accordance with the relevant guidance given in the Institute of Field Archaeologist's Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Excavation (revised 1999), the UK Institute of Conservators Guidelines “Conservation Guideline No 2” and the Museums and Galleries Commissions “Standards in the Museum Care of Archaeological Collections (1991)” excepting where they are superseded by statements made below.

9.1.2 All artefacts from excavated contexts will be retained, except those from features or deposits of obviously modern date. No finds will, however, be discarded without the prior approval of the City Arechaeologist. In such circumstances, sufficient artefacts will be retained in order to elucidate the date and/or function of the feature or deposit (see section 12.3 below).

9.1.3 A suitable metal detector will be used to enhance artefact recovery during the course of the fieldwork. Spoil dumps along with archaeological areas will be scanned.

9.1.4 All retained artefacts will, as a minimum, be washed, weighed, counted and identified. Any artefacts requiring conservation or specific storage conditions will be dealt with immediately in line with First Aid for Finds (Watkinson & Neal 1998). Ironwork from stratified contexts will be X-rayed and stored in a stable environment along with other fragile and delicate material. The X-raying of objects and other conservation needs will be undertaken by the staff of the Wiltshire Museums and Library Service Conservation Consortium, Chippenham or other appropriate approved conservation centre.

9.1.5 Information will be obtained from Gloucester City Museum & Art Gallery concerning conditions and arrangements for the deposition of finds. An Accession Code will be acquired from the museum to be applied to all primary records forming the site archive. 11 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

9.2 Environmental sampling 9.2.1 Should deposits be exposed that contain palaeoenvironmental or datable elements appropriate sampling and post-excavation analysis strategies will be initiated. The project will be organised so that specialist consultants who might be required to conserve or report on finds or advise or report on other aspects of the investigation (e.g. palaeoenvironmental analysis) can be called upon and undertake assessment and analysis of such deposits - if required.

9.2.2 On-site sampling and post-excavation assessment and analysis will be undertaken in accordance with English Heritage’s guidance in Environmental Archaeology: a guide to the theory and practice of methods, from sampling and recovery to post-excavation 2002 and the Wessex Archaeology “Guidelines for Environmental Sampling”. The sampling strategy has been developed with the Wessex Archaeology environmental manager and will be undertaken under the guidance of the geoarchaeologist.

9.2.3 Bulk environmental soil sample sizes will be as per the EH guidelines, with the option to review this following on site discussion / preliminary processing of samples. Samples will be taken from well-sealed and dated or datable archaeological features for plant macro- fossils (charred and/or waterlogged and wood charcoal), small animal bones and small artefacts.

9.2.4 Where appropriate monolith and/or contiguous column samples will be taken. Monoliths will be taken from key and representative sequences on the site. These will be examined in laboratory conditions by a geoarchaeologist to further elucidate the depositional history of the Site and enable sub-sampling for microfossils and radiocarbon samples as appropriate. Particular attention will be paid to stases and buried land surfaces, with soil micromorphology considered.

9.2.5 Bulk environmental soil samples will be processed by flotation and scanned to assess the environmental potential of deposits, but will not be fully analysed. The residues and sieved fractions will be recorded and retained with the project archive. The monoliths will be subject to detailed description by the geoarchaeologist and sub-samples taken as appropriate for microfossils and radiocarbon dating, should suitable material exist. Samples may include those for pollen, diatoms, foraminifera, ostracods as deemed appropriate by the geoarchaeologist. These will be assessed, but not fully analysed at WA. Pollen and diatoms will be assessed and analysed by our external specialist.

9.2.6 Suitable samples for radio carbon dating will be subsampled from the processed and identified plant remains in the bulk samples or well stratified remains from the monoliths as deemed appropriate.

9.2.7 Assessment analysis of charcoal from industrial contexts may provide useful data on both availability of species and their management and exploitation for fuel. This will be undertaken in tandem with assessment of slag and any other industrial by products that may be found.

9.2.8 Wessex Archaeology uses a wide range of in-house and external palaeo-environmental specialists, and selects specific specialists in relation to the period and location of the sites investigated, as well as their proven research experience and availability. Wessex Archaeology also has a close working relationship with a number of radiocarbon laboratories and other facilities. Some of the specialists and facilities that Wessex Archaeology may use where internal specialists are not employed include:

10 POST-EXCAVATION AND REPORTING

10.1 Post-excavation report 10.1.1 On completion of each stage of the archaeological mitigation an interim report on the results for that stage shall be provided to the City Archaeologist and the English Heritage Inspector. On completion of the heritage and archaeological mitigation work and required post-excavation analysis, an illustrated report will be prepared. The report will collate the written, graphic, visible and recorded information recorded during the course of the mitigation. In the event that few or no archaeological remains are exposed, only minimal reporting will be undertaken. Two copies of all archaeological reports arising out of the project shall be given to the Gloucester City Historic Environment Record (HER) for public reference. These will comprise one bound copy and one digital copy in PDF format on the understanding that a digital version of the report may in future be made available to researchers via a web-based version of the Historic Environment Record.

10.1.2 If significant archaeological deposits or remains are exposed during the course of the works, then more detailed reporting will be undertaken, in the form of an illustrated summary report submitted both in hard-copy and digitally and, if merited, wider publication.

10.1.3 The report will be submitted to the HER within three months of the completion of all fieldwork, subject to the provision of specialist reports, radiocarbon dating results etc, which may result in a delay to the final completion of the report. If a substantial delay is anticipated then the HER will be informed of this and a revised date for the production of 13 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

the full report will be agreed between the HER and Wessex Archaeology. If a substantial delay is anticipated then an interim report will be produced within three months of the completion of the fieldwork.

10.1.4 A draft report will be submitted to the Client, the HER and the English Heritage Inspector for comment and approval prior to its formal submission to the LPA.

10.1.5 The report will contain, as a minimum the following:

 a summary of the project’s background  description and illustration of the site location;  a methodology of the works undertaken;  include plans and reports of all documentary and other research undertaken;  a description of the project’s results;  an interpretation of the results in the appropriate context;  a summary of the contents of the project archive and its location (including summary catalogues of finds and samples);  a site location plan at an appropriate scale on an Ordnance Survey, or equivalent, base-map;  a plan showing the location of the areas subject to the archaeological work and the exposed features and deposits in relation to the site boundaries;  detailed plans of areas of the site in which archaeological features are recognised along with adequate OD spot height information. These should be at an appropriate scale to allow the nature of the features exposed to be shown and understood. Plans must show the site and features/deposits in relation to north. Archaeologically sterile areas need not be illustrated unless this can provide information on the development of the site stratigraphy or show palaeoenvironmental deposits that have influenced the site stratigraphy;  section drawings of deposits and features, with OD heights, at scales appropriate to the stratigraphic detail to be shown and must show the orientation of the drawing in relation to north/south/east/west. Archaeologically sterile areas need not be illustrated unless they can provide information on the development of the site stratigraphy or show palaeoenvironmental deposits that have influenced the site stratigraphy;  site matrices where appropriate;  photographs showing the general site layout and exposed significant features and deposits that are referred to in the text. All photographs should contain appropriate scales, the size of which will be noted in the illustration’s caption;  a consideration of evidence within its wider context;  a summary table and descriptive text showing the features, classes and numbers of artefacts recovered and soil profiles with interpretation;  specialist assessment or analysis reports where undertaken;  an evaluation of the methodology employed and the results obtained (i.e. a confidence rating).

10.1.6 Wessex Archaeology will complete an online OASIS (Online Access to the Index of archaeological investigations) form in respect of the archaeological work. This will include a digital version of the report. The report or short entry to the Historic Environment Record will also include the OASIS ID number. Digital mapping data showing the extent of all archaeological investigations will be provided in shapefile or CAD format, geo-referenced to Ordnance Datum.

11 PUBLICATION OF RESULTS

11.1.1 Where the exposure of archaeological, artefactual or palaeoenvironmental remains is limited or of little significance reporting will follow on directly from the field work - see section 7 above.

11.1.2 Should particularly significant archaeological or palaeoenvironmental remains, finds and/or deposits be encountered, then these, because of their importance, are likely to merit wider publication in line with government planning guidance in paragraph 141 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2012). If such remains are encountered, the publication requirements – including any further analysis that may be necessary – will be confirmed with the City Archaeologist.

11.1.3 Where excavations reveal archaeological, artefactual or palaeoenvironmental deposits that have potential for yielding important information about the Site or its environs, through specialist assessment and analysis, a Post Excavation Assessment Report with Analysis and a Project Design for further work will be undertaken and reported on in a separate formal Post-Excavation Assessment and Project Design. This document may also fulfil the role of an interim report if a substantial publication delay is expected.

11.1.4 The Post-Excavation Assessment Report and Project Design will be produced within six months of the completion of all fieldwork, subject to specialist input and agreed with City Archaeologist. The report will include:

 A summary of the project and its background;  A plan showing the location of the site and plans of the site showing the location of archaeological features, artefactual or palaeoenvironmental deposits exposed;  Research aims and objectives;  Method statements setting out how these aims and objectives are to be achieved;  Details of the tasks to be undertaken;  The results of any specialist assessment work undertaken as part of the production of the formal Assessment and Project Design;  Proposed project team;  Overall timetable for undertaking the tasks as well as setting out monitoring points with the HET;  Details of the journal in which the material is to be published 11.1.5 The results of the fieldwork will be published as one body of work, at least to summary level within one year of completion of all phases of fieldwork (subject to the significance of the findings, which may require an extension to the time scale) in an appropriate local or national journal. Other forms of publication (e.g. ‘popular publication’, electronic 15 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

media/Internet) may be employed where appropriate. The final timescale, nature and most appropriate form of publication media and all publication matters will be discussed and agreed in advance with the Client and City Archaeologist.

12 ARCHIVE STORAGE AND CURATION

12.1 Museum 12.1.1 It is the intention of Wessex Archaeology to deposit the project archive, including the finds and environmental samples, with Gloucester City Museum service. Wessex Archaeology will on behalf of the museum, obtain a written agreement from the landowner to transfer title to all items in the material archive. This agreement will be made at the earliest possible stage following assessment after data-collection.

12.1.2 An accession number will be obtained from Gloucester City Museum service, to be applied to all primary records during compilation and to the archive on deposition.

12.2 Archive 12.2.1 The completed project archive (artefactual and digital), which will include records, plans, photos, artefacts, ecofacts and sieved residues, will be prepared to comply with the guidelines outlined in Appendix 3 of Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage 1991) and in accordance with the Guidelines for the preparation of excavation archives for long term storage (UKIC 1990).

12.2.2 Subject to the significance of the archaeological work and subsequent reporting requirements, the archive will be deposited with the Gloucester Museum service within a minimum of six months of completion of the fieldwork. This will be further subject to the museums ability to accept material archives within this or a later timescale.

12.2.3 Archaeological finds resulting from the investigation (which are the property of the landowner), will be deposited with Gloucester Museum Service - in a manner to be agreed with the museum - and within a timetable to be agreed. The composition of the archive will conform to the collecting museum’s accession guidelines for depositing archaeological material. The acceptance of an archive by the museum will be in accordance with the museum’s accession/collection policies.

12.2.4 The results of the fieldwork will be held by the HER in the form of the report submitted by Wessex Archaeology and the creation of an OASIS entry and uploading of the report. The condition in these cases will be considered as discharged upon receipt of the report and completion of the OASIS entry.

12.2.5 The digital archive will consist of:

 all born-digital data (images, survey data, digital correspondence, site data collected digitally etc.); and  digital copies made of all other relevant written and drawn data produced and/or collected during fieldwork - i.e. the primary record comprising context records and indices, sample sheets and indices, finds records and indices, site drawings - earthwork surveys, sections and plans, as well as relevant sketches or notes that aid the interpretation and understanding of the site and its recording, any relevant

16 WA Ref: T18445.01

The Hucclecote Centre, Churchdown Lane, Hucclecote, Gloucester Written Scheme of Investigation for Programme of Historic Building Recording & Archaeological Works

information undertaken as part of the post-excavation assessment or analysis, etc. 12.2.6 The Digital archive will be deposited with a Trusted Digital Repository and thus made publicly accessible, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (2011). The only suitable repository for digital archaeological archive is the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The digital archive will be compiled in accordance with the standards and requirements of the ADS, as set out on the ADS website: http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/advice/guidelinesForDepositors.

12.2.7 Wessex Archaeology will notify the City Archaeologist upon the completion of:

 deposition of the digital archive with the ADS, and  deposition of the material (finds) archive with the museum. 12.3 Discard Policy 12.3.1 Wessex Archaeology follows the guidelines set out in Selection, Retention and Dispersal (Society of Museum Archaeologists 1993), which allows for the discard of selected artefact and ecofact categories which are not considered to warrant any future analysis. Any discard of artefacts will be fully documented in the project archive.

12.3.2 The discard of environmental remains and samples follows nationally recommended guidelines (SMA 1993; 1995; English Heritage 2011).

12.3.3 Wessex Archaeology will in the first instance offer the primary paper record archive to the collecting museum. If the museum confirms that they do not require the hardcopy archive or artefacts, items may be retained as a teaching resource by Wessex Archaeology, or offered to the developer, or applicant, or a third party organisation for public use or as a teaching resource.

12.4 Copyright 12.4.1 The full copyright of the written/illustrative archive relating to the site will be retained by Wessex Archaeology Ltd under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 with all rights reserved. The Museum, however, will be granted an exclusive licence for the use of the archive for educational purposes, including academic research, providing that such use shall be non-profitmaking, and conforms to the Copyright and Related Rights regulations 2003.

12.5 Security copy 12.5.1 In line with current best practice (e.g. Brown 2011), on completion of the project a security copy of the written records will be prepared, in the form of a digital PDF/A file. PDF/A is an ISO-standardised version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) designed for the digital preservation of electronic documents through omission of features ill-suited to long- term archiving.

13 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING

13.1 Fieldwork 13.1.1 The fieldwork will be directed and supervised by a Project Officer from Wessex Archaeology's core staff, who will be on Site at all times. The overall responsibility for the 17 WA Ref: T18445.01
