Something called heritage in which you will find yourself looking through door frames and talking about phenomenology and inter-visibility by creating a time line with assigned asset receptors. I am not sure how you worked out that you had a preserved prehistoric landscape over several kilometres. Must give me the reference sometime.
Ah, so speaks the anti-scientist :face-stir: (tongue firmly in cheek).....lets try and hide the issues in words people hopefully understand.....its all about pre- or mid or sometime re-application. Thats how you save archaeology from destruction. I thought that what we are all doing archaeology for.
If you don't know how to spot a preserved prehistoric landscape you shouldn't be doing DBA's anyway. (or interpreting landscapes).

Washing your hair (if enough is left after years of head scratching) works well too.
I am guessing down there in wherever this thread is eluding to there are many more noddy DBA's than up here? I have to say I have done a few projects with pitiful excuses of DBA's and WSI by other companies. But I have also been trained to do them right so i know how much work and expertise is involved in doing it well.
The point of a good DBA/mitigation methodology seems to be to convey knowledge and information to non archaeologists in such a way as to justify and quantify the need to undertake archaeological mitigation works. Without such a report how could you possible undertake things like costings and programming construction works?
