Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP)
No full textThe Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP), funded by English Heritage and Historic England, systematically collected information about the nature and outcomes of more than 80,000 archaeological projects undertaken in England between 1990 and 2010, the currency of Planning Policy Guidance Note 16: Archaeology and Planning (generally known as PPG16) that was published in November 1990. The AIP aimed to document as many archaeological investigations as possible, many of which would otherwise have remained invisible to the archaeological community and the wider public, through accessing limited availability Grey Literature reports held by archaeological contractors and curators. Whilst the AIP did not collate a library of such reports, it signposted their locations. Data was gathered directly from those who undertook the work, either from their reports or by visiting organizations across England.
Records of investigations and events created by AIP have been incorporated, indexed, and cross-referenced within a range of on-line resources including: the English Heritage Excavations Index (formerly the RCHME Excavation Index) now archived at the ADS (http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/304/) which itself shared data with other on-line resources such as PastScape, Archsearch, and the Heritage Gateway; the British and Irish Archaeological Bibliography (http://www.biab.ac.uk); and the OASIS record maintained by the Archaeology Data Service (http://oasis.ac.uk/pages/wiki/Main).
This AIP data archive allows a greater appreciation of the breadth of archaeological work carried out in England during a key period in the emergence of planning-led investigations, and it gives an overview of the impacts that PPG16 had on such projects. This is summarised in the publication which forms the companion to this database, 'Archaeology in the PPG16 Era: Investigations in England 1990-2010' by Timothy Darvill, Kerry Barrass, Vanessa Constant, Ehren Milner, and Bronwen Russell (Oxbow Books 2018)

Exploring the social use of space using principles of relativity.
No full textThis thesis applies a new application for old scientific principles based on a philosophical extension of Einstein's theory of relativity for Space-Time. With Einstein's physics, space and time are relative to the observer.
Comparisons of house floors by relativity is achieved with a
mathematically based procedure that places a universal point of observation within all structures based upon the centroid of the structure itself. The data is transformed so that all structures can be placed upon the same axial alignment and sampled for spatial correlations by Principal
Components Analysis (PCA), relative to each structure's space. A further method Selective Centric Morphology (SCM) created for this study, places the point of observation as that relative for archaeological interpretations. In this study, the centre of the hearth acts as a centre of social activity and all space is transformed around this point of observation. This enables the ability to apply statistical tests that can be linked to spatial distributions, to compare known quantities against archaeological examples, and to directly make intersite comparisons beyond an anecdotal level. A test case, Kilpheder House 500, has archaeological distributions of objects related to food storage (pottery) and preparation (flint or unbumt
bone) within house floors tested against models of longhouses and round/wheel houses to determine group membership. The longhouses tested against were formed from twelve expert models and a synthesis Cognitive Model. The round/wheel houses tested against were Black Patch (East Sussex, England), Catpund (Shetland, Scotland), Sollas (North Uist, Scotland), Stenness House 1, 3, 6 and 10 (Orkney, Scotland). This thesis found that with transformations by both relativity and SCM, the
strongest correlations for Kilpheder House 500 were with the longhouse expert models and has a likely group membership with longhouses. In this study, mathematical transformations allowed intersite cases to be examined directly against each other. The transformation of space into a universal framework will offer archaeologists the ability to make precise mathematical comparisons between relative spaces. This not only offers the ability to make
comparisons of multi-dimensional data-sets as a means of understanding the social use of space in archaeologically recovered buildings but can be applied to any area with clear boundaries where spatial comparisons can aid interpretation. Future work may make it possible to determine archaeological taxonomic memberships with these methods

River Mourning
No full text41 p.In his introduction describing the themes and inspiration for this collection of original poems, the author writes “I explored the futility of, as (Portuguese poet, Fernando) Pessoa says, “longing for impossible things.” In other words, this SIP is a reckoning of loss and longing. These are a collection of lost friends, cancelled plans, dismissed dreams. It is a compilation of incomplete and fragmentary things, and the ordeal of necessarily living with them. These are poems that deal with longing and futility. Near to longing and the memories with which I grounded these poems are dreaming and imagination. This collection treads the overlap of memory and unreality. Doing so allowed me to explore different landscapes of longing. These themes lended themselves well to the exploration of aspects like form, tense, capitalization, and imagery.

Archaeology in the PPG16 Era
No full textThe Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP), funded by English Heritage, systematically collected information about the nature and outcomes of more than 80,000 archaeological projects undertaken between 1990 and 2010. This volume looks at the long-term trends in archaeological investigation and reporting, places this work within wider social, political, and professional contexts, and reviews its achievements. Information was collected through visits to public and private organizations undertaking archaeological work. Planning Policy Guidance Note 16: Archaeology and Planning (known as PPG16), published in 1990, saw the formal integration of archaeological considerations with the UK town and country planning system. It set out processes for informed decision-making and the implementation of post-determination mitigation strategies, defining a formative era in archaeological practice and establishing principles that underpin today’s planning policy framework. The scale of activity represented – more 1000 excavations per year for most of the PPG16 Era – is more than double the level of work undertaken at peak periods during the previous three decades. This comprehensive review of the project presents a wealth of data. A series of case studies illustrate different types of development project, revealing many ways in which projects develop, how archaeology is integrated with planning and execution, and the range of outputs documenting the process. It then identifies a series of ten important lessons that can be learned from these investigations. Looking into the post-PPG16 Era, the volume considers anticipated developments in the changing worlds of planning, property development, and archaeological practice and proposes the monitoring of archaeological investigations in England using a two-pronged approach that involves self-reporting and periodic strategic overviews
