Dinosaur Wrote:Eerm, I'm sitting looking at a planning permission which says absolutely nothing about publication in the conditions, merely 'report' (unspecified) and 'archive', and the relevant county mountie (and indeed all of the other ones I ever have dealings with) don't seem too upset by the 'if appropriate' clause in front of anything to do with publication in WSIs. I'd guess that in reality probably only about 10-20% of archaeological jobs ever get any mention in any 'publication'
Hi
The condition (if it's a model 55) should relate directly to a "written scheme of investigation approved in writing" (the WSI). It is the WSI that forms the basis for the requirement not the wording of the condition (exactly the same as landscaping or other conditions). I think you should check what your saying because "if appropriate" isn't acceptable in many counties, check out the Lincolnshire Handbook, the Somerset Handbook, the Standards for Field Archaeology in South East England, ALGAO Model Briefs and Specifications and many more. I think most counties require at least a note in the proceedings (or transactions) of local journals for limited (even negative) projects and larger articles for more interesting sites.
What counties do you work in because its pretty easy to check whether they do require it?
