[quote=Marc Berger]The trench arc contamination spreads to being a mitigation stratergy
Agreed - it certainly looks like a spectacularly insensitive location! Who'd expect dead people around the west end of a church?

Um - the client & contractor? Just a guess...

Just about anybody who should have followed the apabe advice to do an evaluation. The apabe document does not have watching brief in its lexicon. I don't think that watching briefs should be allowed near churches without there having been a dba and or a field evaluation. How did trench arch get into the document as a mitigation? There is a first edition for the document produced in 2005. What has suddenly compelled this bunch to get all updaty. I would be interested in seeing a first edition, its on scribed but I am not subscribing for a government document...
These are four roughly 60square metre trench arch excavations in Lincolnshire churches from which there isn't a report

That's possibly 240 square metres without including holes in church walls and floors. The St Lawrence one had a watching brief on a soakaway in 2011 so its not as if the church had never heard about archaeology

Marc - thanks for posting about this 'mess'
"Question 7: Would a unit that considers the excavation of any skeleton in a watching brief adequate by breaking the bones off at the baulk when financially employed by an organisation that has control over its own planning permissions"
"break bones..." > This is Shocking, Totally Unprofessional, and Ethically Indefensible, as is a sewer through a known burial ground (tsk tsk God-Squad!) It should never have gone there, and pretty obviously would have heritage impacts - How the hell did the system fail !?
