Unit Commentary:

This unit involves the carrying out of non-intrusive archaeological field investigations (primarily various types of survey). The unit is for archaeologists with responsibility for carrying out field investigations, i.e. they will be the most senior archaeologist in the field. They may report to a project manager or, in the case of small projects, they may be the project manager. This unit deals with the preparation for an investigation where the method statement has already been agreed, the observation and recording of measurements in the field leading to the analysis and presentation of the data.
