Dear Colleagues,
We are developing draft guidelines for archaeological metal detecting. These guidelines will apply to archaeological investigations under Section 106 and similar work. Do any of you have or know of established guidelines for the use of metal detectors on archaeological sites? Specifically, we are focusing on: (A) metal detecting methods used to locate sites, delineate site boundaries, and investigate the internal structure of sites and (B) what level of sampling is appropriate during different phases of investigation. If anyone has worked with metal detecting guidelines and has learned some lessons first hand, we would like to hear those as well. Any information you could share is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Pomfret
