Case-study 1, DBA: Palaeolithic potential at “Village Royale” Francis Wenban-Smith Heritage in Practice CPD course University College London 30th March 2017 CAHO-Contracting Palaeolithic pre-construction archaeology Department of Archaeology

Introduction Goals Deposit-centred approach Methods: deposits CAHO- Contracting Goals Deposit-centred approach Methods: deposits Methods: Pal remains DBA case-study, tasks 1 and 2

Goals Identify potential presence of important Palaeolithic remains CAHO- Contracting Goals Identify potential presence of important Palaeolithic remains Pleistocene deposits Presence, distribution and types Establish known/potential presence of Pal remains

“The deposit-centred approach”: a - the wider picture CAHO- Contracting “The deposit-centred approach”: a - the wider picture Geological mapping Solid geology Drift geology Topography Previous Palaeolithic finds: - HER - SRPP, ERPP

“The deposit-centred approach”: CAHO- Contracting “The deposit-centred approach”: b - PCAs, the closer, site-specific picture Landscape situation Mapped deposits Extrapolated deposits Known finds Extrapolated finds Palaeolithic Character Areas - PCAs * - map + attribute table - deposit character - Palaeolithic remains - potential

Methods: - deposits Identify the range of Pleistocene deposit types CAHO- Contracting Identify the range of Pleistocene deposit types Consider their formation processes Consider their distribution and likely extrapolation Consider their presence/extrapolation in the specific site area

- Palaeolithic remains Methods: - Palaeolithic remains CAHO- Contracting HER SRPP/ERPP Identify their association with deposits Consider their integrity and disturbance

- DBA output 1, the wider picture CAHO- Contracting Your first task: - DBA output 1, the wider picture Apply these methods to the site and the wider area Refer to hand-outs and bundle Geo-mapping + key SRPP info Fill in DBA output 1 Discuss, ask We will circulate.. “Village Royale”

CAHO- Contracting Output 1

Your second task: - DBA output 2, PCAs “Village Royale” CAHO- Contracting Your second task: - DBA output 2, PCAs “Village Royale” Apply these methods to the site, taking account of the wider background Identify areas of higher potential Identify areas of lower or no potential Consider what info you are lacking, and whether you need to obtain it Identify areas and priority questions for field evaluation
