When the client's going to have to pay to have whatever's there dug anyway, why should they waste money on evaluation first? Geofizz, trial trenching etc isn't going to have any impact on the final excavation results under those circumstances anyway [some fieldwalking might have been good though] Actually in this case most of the most interesting archaeology wouldn't have looked like anything on geophysics and the site's so huge trial trenching would have been needle-in-a-haystack stuff. Rectified kite photography post-stripping proved to be particularly effective though :face-approve:
The mitigation methodology was, I'd imagine, part of the application (we didn't deal with it)
It'll come as a considerable surprise to many people (including me) reading your post that geophysics isn't a form of evaluation! :face-huh:
